SUMMARY:AI Circular Economy Conference 2026
DESCRIPTION:Unlocking the Potential of Renewable Carbon from Biomass\, CCU and Recycling.\nArtificial intelligence (AI) is no longer just a technological trend; it is a transformative force that is accelerating the transition from fossil fuels to renewable carbon sources in the chemical and materials industry. This represents one of the greatest industrial challenges since the beginning of the industrial revolution\, requiring the most advanced digital solutions available. AI is emerging as the key enabler of this transformation. \nnova-Institute proudly presents its new highlight event\, bringing together the best innovators\, researchers\, and practitioners of this fundamental digital transformation of our society: The AI Circular Economy Conference\, 4-5 March\, 2026 in Cologne and online. Join us at this groundbreaking conference to explore how advanced AI tools and applications are shaping the future of circular and sustainable materials by unlocking the full potential of renewable carbon from biomass\, carbon capture utilisation (CCU)\, and recycling: \n\nHigh-tech innovators are delivering cutting-edge AI solutions for science and industry.\nChemical and plastics producers are using AI to innovate more quickly\, efficiently\, and sustainably.\nThe agricultural and biomass sectors are using AI to identify new sources of raw materials and close the loop on material flows.\nCutting-edge applications of AI\, including AI-assisted modelling of CCU processes and catalysts\, optimisation of CO₂ capture\, and the design of novel chemical pathways such as those involving electrochemistry.\nUse of AI for process control and optimisation in depolymerisation\, advanced waste stream sorting and feedstock analysis\, as well as quality assurance of recycled materials.\n\nFeaturing top experts in AI development\, chemical and plastics manufacturing\, biotechnology\, agriculture\, recycling and sustainability\, this interdisciplinary event will explore the latest developments in the field. Whether you are a data scientist working on new industrial applications\, a materials professional seeking for practical tools\, or part of the management or investment community looking to understand strategic and financial opportunities\, this conference will provide you with actionable insights\, valuable use cases and collaborative opportunities. The “AI Circular Economy Conference” will bring together all relevant stakeholders to discuss the need for AI solutions in a circular economy in the chemistry and materials sector and to match these needs with technical solutions from scientists and developers. \nFurther information at https://ai-circulareconomy.eu

SUMMARY:Are you ready for a bio-based quota?
DESCRIPTION:The nova-Institute’s new ‘Renewable Feedstock’ department offers concise and timely expert workshops to help you prepare for the political challenges ahead.\n30 April\, 14-16 (CET)\, online\n  \nContent of the workshop\n  \nPolicy framework\, Status and Outlook:\nWill a quota for bio-based plastics in packaging be introduced? 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
