UPCYCLE: Lecture & Roundtable Discussion

European regulations on packaging and the bio-economy are evolving at a rapid pace. What does this mean for your company, your innovation plans, and the future of circular materials? Discover it during our inspiring afternoon session on Tuesday 24 February at Villa Anamma (Ghent).

What can you expect?

An expert from OVAM will provide a clear and up-to-date overview of:

• the latest developments within the EU Bioeconomy Strategy
• how this strategy is linked to the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR)
• the concrete opportunities these developments create for the food and packaging sector

There will be ample room for questions and interaction during the presentation.

Interactive round tables – part of the UPCYCLE project

Following the lecture, we will break out into smaller discussion groups. These round tables are part of UPCYCLE, an ambitious European project that transforms non-recyclable plastic waste into circular biopolymers (PLA, PHA and PEF) through advanced chemo-enzymatic processes.

You will have the opportunity to:

• gain insights into groundbreaking circular technologies
• connect with leading stakeholders from industry, research and policy
• share your needs, challenges and expectations, helping to shape future research and policy

Why attend?

Participation is free of charge  and ideal for companies that:

• want to stay ahead of upcoming regulations
• aim to strengthen their innovation and sustainability strategy
• seek to connect with relevant partners in a rapidly evolving landscape

Your expertise and perspective are valuable to the discussion and will help you prepare strategically for the circular economy of tomorrow.

We look forward to welcoming you to this forward-looking and inspiring event!
