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 %.

SUMMARY:nova Session: Policy Update on Circular Economy for the Chemicals and Materials Sector
DESCRIPTION:Hosts: Kaj Seeger and Luciano Proto Cassina (all nova-Institute)\n13:00 – 15:00 (CET) \nEurope\, and crucially\, the chemicals and materials sector\, is currently facing several challenges due to a rapidly changing global context. These changes are underpined by the ongoing impacts of the war in Ukraine\, fluctuating trade relations\, economic stagnation\, and the urgent need to address climate change.\nThe European Union has already recognised the potential that the chemicals and materials industries have to drive economic growth and mitigate climate. For this reason\, the European Union continues to foster its transformation to a sustainable and resilient economy\, with a strong focus on the transition towards circularity. This commitment is evident in a wave of upcoming and recently established policies designed to foster sustainability\, enhance competitiveness\, and accelerate decarbonisation. \nIf you are curious on how the current and forthcoming EU policy landscape looks like and which implications it may have for your business\, then join us for our upcoming nova Session: Policy Update on Circular Economy for the Chemical and Material Sector \nIn this two hours we will delve into the key legislative developments and strategic directions shaping the future of the industry. Our expert team will provide a comprehensive overview and insightful analysis of crucial topics\, including: \nTopics \n\nThe EU Competitiveness Compass\nThe Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR)\nThe Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR)\nThe Clean Industrial Deal\nIndustrial Decarbonisation Accelerator Act\nThe Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing Act\nThe Upcoming Bioeconomy Strategy\nThe Circular Economy Act\n\nThis session is designed to provide you with a clear understanding of these interconnected policies and their potential impact on your strategies and operations. \nWe look forward to helping you navigate the evolving policy landscape and unlock the opportunities presented by Europe’s transition towards a circular and sustainable future for the chemicals and materials industries. \nProgramme (all CET): \n\n\n\n13:00\nWelcome and introduction\nLuciano Proto Cassina\n\n\n13:15\nThe EU Competitiveness Compass and the role of the Chemicals and Materials Sector in contributing to the European Green Deal objectives.\nLuciano Proto Cassina\n\n\n13:30\nThe Clean Industrial Deal and the Industrial Decarbonisation Accelerator Act\nKaj Seeger\n\n\n13:55\nPreparing for the ESPR – VAUDE’s experience\nRené Bethmann\, VAUDE\n\n\n14:20\nThe upcoming Bioeconomy Strategy and the Circular Economy Act\nLuciano Proto Cassina\n\n\n14:45\nClosing Remarks and Wrap up\nKaj Seeger\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:nova talk: Next Generation Cellulose Fibre – Lyocell 2.0
DESCRIPTION:nova talk: Next Generation Cellulose Fibre – Lyocell 2.0\n \nSustainability and Circularity in Innovative Textiles \n13 November\, 13:00 – 14:30h CET (online) – free of charge \nRegister here! \nLyocell\, a material made from cellulose\, is gaining strong attention in the textile industry for its strength\, softness\, and sustainable production. As the textile industry increasingly prioritises circularity and sustainability\, Lyocell 2.0 offers promising solutions through balanced high-quality performance combined with environmental responsibility\, while also standing out for its recyclability and versatility. \nOn 13 November 2025\, 13:00-14:30 CEST\, nova-Institute will host the first ever nova talk — an interactive online-discussion format offering in-depth discussions on cellulose fibre innovation. This event will bring together internationally recognised experts Asta Partanen (nova-Institute)\, Philipp Köhler (Thuringian Institute for Textile and Plastics Research Rudolstadt e.V.  – TITK)\, and Manuel Steiner (LIST Technology AG) to explore next generation cellulose fibres from multiple perspectives. \nAs current EU directives for textiles are focussing on circularity and sustainability in textile fibres\, the discussion will offer an overview of different fibre-to-fibre recycling methods as well as market figures and technology data. A special focus is set on one of the most growing textile fibres: Lyocell. Other key topics will include the emerging use of ionic liquids in Lyocell production\, a comparison of chemical and mechanical fibre recycling\, and how Lyocell compares with viscose in terms of recyclability and circularity. The panel will also cover technical advances in re-pulping cellulose to regenerate full Lyocell fibres\, current trends\, and international highlights. \nThis event is generously sponsored by LIST Technology AG. Based in Switzerland\, List Technology AG is the leading technology provider for highly viscous and phase-changing industrial processes based on KneadingReactors\, such as dissolution processes for spinning solutions\, and inventor of the Lyocell 2.0 technology. LIST’s support highlights the importance of sustainable materials research in driving the textile industry’s future. \nThe TITK – Thuringian Institute for Textile and Plastics Research Rudolstadt e.V. is among the leading private institutes for polymer-based functional and engineering materials. With a modern technology park\, it has recently advanced textile recycling\, presenting at the World Expo in Japan the first polo shirt made from triple‑recycled cellulose fibre. The fibre\, Lyohemp®\, is TITK’s innovation and the first Lyocell made from hemp pulp. \nnova talks embraces active audience participation through live Q&A\, creating a dynamic dialogue to deepen understanding of next-generation Lyocell and its role in advancing sustainable textile value chains\, but also offering a rare opportunity to engage directly with top experts shaping circular and sustainable textile innovation. \nJoin this session to gain a comprehensive understanding of how Lyocell helps building a truly circular textile economy. \nTo become part of the discussion\, register here for free. \nYou want to put your own topic on the agenda and initiate your own nova talk? Find options and conditions in the nova talk flyer or get in touch via guido.mueller@nova-institut.de to learn more about the format. \n
