SUMMARY:FREE nova Session: Bio-based Building Blocks and Polymers – Global Capacities\, Production and Trends 2024–2029
DESCRIPTION:FREE nova Session: Bio-based Building Blocks and Polymers – Global Capacities\, Production and Trends 2024–2029 \nHosts: Michael Carus\, Lars Börger and Pia Skoczinski (all nova-Institute) \n7 May from 14:00 to 15:00h CET (online) – free of charge \n  \nIn this upcoming nova Session\, a free webinar\, the latest insights from our key report “Bio-based Building Blocks and Polymers – Global Capacities\, Production and Trends 2024–2029“\, will be presented. \n2024 was a respectable year for bio-based polymers\, with an overall expected CAGR of 13 % to 2029. Overall\, bio-based biodegradable polymers have large installed capacities with an expected CAGR of 17 % to 2029\, but the current average capacity utilisation is moderate at 65 %. In contrast\, bio-based non-biodegradable polymers have a much higher utilisation rate of 90 %\, but will only grow by 10 % to 2029. \nEpoxy resin and PUR production is growing moderately at 9 and 8 %\, respectively\, while PP and cyclic APC capacities are increasing by 30 %. Despite a decline in production of biodegradables\, especially for PLA in Asia\, capacities have increased by 40 %. The same applies to PHA capacities. Commercial newcomers such as casein polymers and PEF recorded a rise in production capacity and are expected to continue to grow significantly until 2029. \nRegister now for free: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_z2ZObwv3T5aeKufxJgyJtA \n

Which quotas are likely\, and when? Which sectors beyond packaging are under discussion? For which applications is industrial compostability already mandatory today? \n=> Get the latest insights into plans and concepts of the European Commission in the framework of the bioeconomy strategy. \n\nReduced carbon footprint:\nIs it true that bio-based plastics show an intrinsic lower carbon footprint than fossil plastics? Which new LCA-standards account for carbon uptake through biomass? \n=> Get insights into recent developments like LCI database updates demonstrating higher footprints of fossil plastics\, or changing biogenic carbon accounting in LCA methodology \n  \nBiomass availability:\nIs there enough biomass for packaging and more? \n=> Get insights into the latest global and European scenarios and modelling on biomass availability for scaling up bio-based plastics. \n  \nAvailability of bio-based polymers to fulfill the upcoming quotas:\nWhich market and price developments can be expected? Which bio-based plastics are available and suitable for the packaging sector? Who are key producers and traders? \n=> Receive detailed insights into current and future market dynamics\, including capacities of 17 bio-based plastics and their suppliers. \n  \nJoin our two-hour online-workshop and find in-depth answers from leading experts:\n\nChristopher vom Berg\, head of nova-Institute’s ‘Renewable Feedstock‘ department\nMichael Carus\, founder of the institute and senior expert\n\nWe also offer in-house workshop for your company.\nContact: christopher.vomberg@nova-institut.de \n
