SUMMARY:PERFECOAT Webinar "Safety and Sustainability of Novel Bio-Based Materials – Assessments and Used Methodology“
DESCRIPTION:Next episode of the PERFFECOAT webinar series\nIn the penultimate episode of the five-piece webinar series of the CBE JU funded research project PERFECOAT the experts will give insights about assessments and used methodology in regards to safety and sustainability of the developed bio-based compounds for sustainable paints and coatings. \nWhen developing novel bio-based solutions\, safety and sustainability of bio-based paint and coating products for users and environment mark a top priority. Within the last three years\, the partners involved in the EU-funded PERFECOAT project successfully generated and examined a broad variety bio-based paint and coating ingredients. These include a selection of binders made from\, e.g.\, modified alginates (SINTEF)\, xanthan (Technical University Munich)\, and xylan (Celignis) derived from different biomass resources like agricultural residues\, e.g.\, poplar wood\, beech wood\, wheat straw\, and late cut grass. Furthermore\, the team developed different formulations for red pigments and dyes as well as other colours (e.g.\, green and purple) produced from yeast and fungi. To allow for the modification of specific properties like self-healing surfaces and fire resistance\, fillers and functional nano materials were developed from microbial biomass. \nAll these ingredients were tested with regard to their performance\, requirements and properties in formulations of three specific use-cases: \n\nhigh-volume UV-curable clear coatings\,\nwaterborne trim paints for DIY\, and\nwaterborne wall paints.\n\nAll materials developed in PERFECOAT need to meet highest safety and sustainability standards for users and environment. The project will therefore quantitatively demonstrate the sustainability improvements achieved with bio-based solutions compared to conventional fossil-based paints and coatings. This was done by establishing a framework for safety assessment (chemical leaching and skin sensitisation testing)\, life cycle assessment (LCA)\, life cycle costing (LCC)\, and potential social impacts of the developed products and processes. The social study started with identifying potential social impacts and factors that can influence social acceptance (including socio-political acceptance\, market acceptance and community acceptance) through literature review and stakeholder interviews. The next steps include finalising the social impact assessment.\nThe webinar will provide an overview of applied frameworks\, methodologies\, and key highlights. \nLearn more about the assessments by registering for the fourth webinar “Safety and Sustainability – Assessments and Used Methodology”. \nWith international top experts: \n• Andy Booth (SINTEF Ocean)\n• Kamal Azrague (SINTEF)\n• Assiya Kenzhegaliyeva (SINTEF) \n“Safety and Sustainability – Assessments and Used Methodology”\n10 June 2024\n13.00-14.00h CET\nOnline and free of charge\nRegistration: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_xoIex-UQQ5iTWg73-R_wag \nSafe the date for the last webinar episode:\n26 August 2024 “The PERFECOAT project – achievements and obstacles” \nThe registration link will be shared shortly before the events.\nTo stay informed about future events\, subscribe to the PERFECOAT newsletter at https://perfecoat-project.eu \nThe PERFECOAT project receives funding from the Bio-based Industries Joint Undertaking (JU) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101022370. The JU receives support from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme and the Bio-based Industries Consortium.

SUMMARY:Six pathways to smart certification of bio-based systems
DESCRIPTION:Are you a policy maker\, a member of the bio-based industry or a concerned consumer? Participate in the first webinar by the Horizon Europe project 3-CO on June 7th\, 2024\, 11 am to 12:30 pm (CET)! The webinar will address the vital topic of certification and labelling of biological feedstock\, bio-based value chains and products. \nCertification and labelling play a crucial role in empowering consumers to make informed and sustainable purchasing decisions by impeding greenwashing and instead providing credible and reliable sustainability information. Furthermore\, they facilitate the tracking and traceability of biological feedstock throughout value chains\, fostering transparency and accountability among stakeholders of the bio-based industry. However\, there are a lot of challenges for current certification and labelling schemes\, since they are often not sufficiently laid-out for bio-based products and their value-chains\, and that they do not reflect the environmental and sustainability benefits. \nFollowing different calls of the European Commission several Horizon Europe projects are currently tackling the issue of certification and labelling by taking into account current political and societal developments. The projects’ diverse approaches encompass assessment\, monitoring\, and validation of bio-based case studies\, defining sustainability indicators\, formulating guidelines for certification and labelling schemes\, offering policy recommendations\, and developing innovative digital tools to provide information on bio-based value chains to consumers or industry stakeholders. \nJoin us on June 7th and listen to pitches from six HORIZON Europe projects: 3-CO\, BioReCer\, HARMONITOR\, Star4bbs\, SUSTRACK\, and Sustcert4Biobased. Together\, we’ll explore their innovative approaches\, recent advancements and latest results that pave the way for shaping a strong circular EU bioeconomy. \nRegister here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Gu4n5RlgTV2E086kpopmYA#/registration \nThe organiser of the free webinar is 3-CO\, which will support consumers’ purchasing decisions towards more sustainable solutions by improving the communication of label and certification schemes (LCS) on a Business-to-Consumers (B2C) level. To unlock the full potential of the bioeconomy and industrial bio-based products\, 3-CO will establish a supportive framework and develop actionable guidelines for LCS owners that reflect consumers’ and other stakeholders’ needs. Meanwhile intense consumer involvement and digital tools will demonstrate their viability.\nFind more information here: https://3co-project.eu \nFunded by the European Union.

SUMMARY:PERFECOAT Webinar "Greener ingredients for bio-based paints and coatings"
DESCRIPTION:The paint and coating industry is in great need for high-performance bio-based solutions especially for binders\, fillers\, pigments\, and additives like functional nanomaterials. The EU-funded research project PERFECOAT has the goal to introduce a variety of new biomass-derived solutions to replace fossil material in paint and coating ingredients. The different biomass sources\, tailormade modifying methods\, and the biotechnology used the process the biomass are topics of this webinar. \nSo far in the project\, the PERFECOAT team has successfully developed innovative bio-based solutions from bio-waste and agricultural residues. Besides microbially produced alginates and lipids\, the project also aimed to develop and produce at least two different formulations for bio-based red pigments and dyes as well as other colours and identified great potential for the production of red and orange pigments from the fungus Talaromyces atroroseus. Alternative strategies for carotenoids used the yeasts R. toruloides and Y. lipolytica\, which also allow the production of the violet pigment violacein\, resulting in a deep purple colour. Other pathways show potential for the development of additional colours such as green from prodeoxyviolacein or pink from deoxyviolacein.\nThe second webinar episode will present equally successful solutions for the ingredient group of binders. Binders represent one of the main challenges in paint-formulations. Different project partners generated a selection of bio-based binder samples\, e.g.\, modified alginates (SINTEF)\, xanthan (Technical University Munich)\, and xylan (Celignis) derived from different biomass resources like agricultural residues\, e.g.\, poplar wood\, beech wood\, wheat straw\, and late cut grass. \nCurious to learn more about the utilisation of biomass for paint and coatings ingredients? \nRegister for the second webinar “Greener ingredients for bio-based paints and coatings”. \n\nAmelie Skopp (Technical University Munich) – The beauty of “green” – rethinking an approach to bio-based ingredients\nSrdjan Gavrilović (TalTech) – Modification of bio-based feedstock for binder applications\nAnders Ødum (Chromologics) – Scale up of precision fermentation for bio-based ingredients\n\n8 April 2024\n13:00-14:00h CET\nonline \nRegister here!

SUMMARY:Cellulose Fibres Conference 2024
DESCRIPTION:The unique conference focused on cellulose fibres – in textiles\, hygiene products and packaging. The Cellulose Fibres Conference 2024 will cover the entire value chain\, from lignocellulose\, chemical pulp\, cellulose fibres such as rayon\, viscose\, modal or lyocell and new developments to a wide range of applications. \nRecently the European Commission has made the thorough transition towards sustainability and circularity for different industries and especially the textile sector a main focus. This demands a new way of thinking with regard to sustainability and circularity within the textile economy. This process already starts with the material selection of the fibres used for the textiles. Generally\, textiles consist of fibres\, which can be made from renewable and non-renewable resources. A first step towards improving the sustainability of textiles is the change from non-renewable to renewable fibres. In consequence\, the textile industry shows a steadily increasing\, enormous demand on renewable and sustainable fibres. \nFurther information: https://cellulose-fibres.eu \n

SUMMARY:Towards bio-based paints and coatings – Fundamentals and an introduction to the PERFECOAT project
DESCRIPTION:Everything you ever wanted to know about sustainable paint and coatings: The PERFECOAT Webinar Series\nFirst webinar “Towards bio-based paints and coatings – Fundamentals and an introduction to the PERFECOAT project” on 5 March 2024\, 13.00-14.00 (CET)\, online \nStarting on 5 March 2024 the CBE JU funded research project PERFECOAT launches its upcoming webinar series to present bio-based compounds for sustainable paints and coatings as well as end applications to young researchers. \nThe European paints and coatings market is projected to grow from USD 37.2 billion in 2023 to USD 41.6 billion by 2028 (Markets and Markets\, 2023). While a majority of currently used ingredients are fossil-based\, prospects show an increasing demand for sustainable paints and coatings\, especially in the professional and DIY (Do it yourself) industries. To enable a smooth transition from fossil to sustainable products\, the industry is in desperate need for high performance bio-based solutions especially for bio-polymers and lipids\, binders\, fillers\, pigments and additives like functional nanomaterials. These major component groups combined account for nearly 70 % of the ingredients (American Coatings Association\, 2023). In the first two years of examination\, the EU funded research project PERFECOAT (https://perfecoat-project.eu) successfully developed innovative bio-based solutions\, from bio-waste and agricultural residues. These will be tested in the formulation of three use-cases: UV-curable clear coatings for wood\, waterborne trim paints for DIY\, and waterborne wall paints. \nAt this project stage\, the partners successfully developed bio-based polymers and lipids\, binders\, fillers\, fungal pigments and dyes\, as well as different additives like functional nanomaterials.

SUMMARY:PEFerence: Use of Food/Feed Crops for Bio-based Materials and Effects on Food Security
DESCRIPTION:Using plant-based sugars as a resource leads us to a well-known debate: The competition between food and non-food when it comes to bio-based crops. This debate is flawed\, subjective and not fully based on evidence. What is detrimental to food security are\, according to the World Food Programme in 2023\, climate change\, conflict\, extreme inequalities in wealth distribution\, heavy dependence on food imports from industrial countries\, overconsumption of meat\, losses along the value chain and the impact of the COVID pandemic. Competition between biomass uses is not mentioned among the relevant causes.\nThe authors of a related paper (https://renewable-carbon.eu/publications/?search=1&woof_text=food) argue that using food and feed crops for chemicals and materials will not necessarily exacerbate food insecurity\, and in fact has the potential to cause multiple benefits for local and global food security\, climate mitigation and other factors. One of the main authors is Lara Dammer\, Head of the “Economy & Policy” Department at nova-Institute. \nThis free webinar gives you the opportunity to learn more about the new scientific insights on crops for bio-based materials directly from the source. At the end\, there will be time for your questions to be answered live by Lara Dammer. \nPEFerence receives funding from the Bio-based Industries Joint Undertaking (JU) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 744409. The JU receives support from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme and the Bio-based Industries Consortium. \n  \nFurther information.

SUMMARY:Food and Feed Crops for Bio-based Materials – Facts\, Myths\, Policy and Practical Examples
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Michael Carus and Lara Dammer (nova-Institute) \nThere is a widely held view that the use of food and feed crops for anything other than food and feed uses – namely\, for bio-based chemicals and materials – is detrimental to food security. We are ready to challenge this perception and want to encourage differentiated discussions and evidence-based opinion making. \nIn this half-day webinar\, nova-Institute will present findings from latest research indicating that the impacts of using food and feed crops are much more complex than usually assumed and can even be positive\, with regards to climate\, land productivity\, environment\, farmers’ income\, market stability\, feed security and food security. Experts will also highlight the recent political framework for using biomass for biofuels and bio-based chemicals and materials. Three companies will showcase their ways of using sustainably sourced primary biomass. \n  \nTopics \n\nWhy bio-based materials have an important role to play for mitigating climate change\nGlobal biomass availability\nOverall environmental impacts and sustainability assessments\nEconomic effects\nProtein supply and emergency reserves\nPolitical framework\nPractical examples of companies utilising sustainably sourced primary biomass\n\nDo not miss this opportunity to engage directly with experts from the industry\, academia and policy. Join us for an informative and engaging nova Session on “Food and Feed Crops for Bio-based Materials – Facts\, Myths\, Policy and Practical Examples”. \n  \nProgram  \n(CET: Central European Time)\n \n\n\n\n13:00-13:15\nWelcome and introduction Michael Carus\n\n\n13:15-14:15\nThe Use of Food and Feed Crops for Bio-based Materials and the Related Effects on Food Security – new insights from recent research (Michael Carus\, Lara Dammer)\n\n\n14:15-14:50\nStatus quo of policy on biomass uses and sustainability requirements – Policy framework on bio-based plastics and biodegradable and compostable plastics\, EU Taxonomy\, RED III\, ReFuel EU Aviation\, Fuel EU Maritime (Lara Dammer)\n\n\n14:50-15:00\nCoffee break\n\n\n15:00-16:00\nPractical examples of sustainable bio-based materials from primary biomass Martin Clemesha\, Braskem | Patrick Waes\, CovationBio | Marilia Foukaraki\, Cosun Beet Company\n\n\n16:00-16:30\nDiscussion\, outlook and wrap-up\n\n\n\n
