EUBP Talk #1: Material Solutions: Bioplastics Beyond Packaging – Construction

During the EUBP Talks, outstanding researchers, organisations and companies interested in monitoring emerging innovation will come together to exchange ideas and solutions in an informal setting.

The objective of the series is to explore innovative and emerging applications of bioplastics across different sectors and to foster exchange between science and industry.

#1 Focus on Construction

The construction industry stands at a crossroads. As we confront mounting environmental challenges, a revolutionary solution is emerging from an unexpected source: bioplastics.

Once dismissed as too fragile for heavy-duty applications, bioplastics are now transforming how we build. From insulation panels that breathe to structural components that rival traditional materials in strength, these plant-based polymers are reshaping construction’s future. Imagine buildings that don’t just minimise carbon emissions—they actively capture CO2. Green walls and facades made with bioplastic systems are turning structures into carbon sinks, while biodegradable formwork and lightweight components slash transportation emissions and construction waste.

Join us for an eye-opening exploration of bioplastics in construction. We’ll examine cutting-edge applications, bust common myths, and reveal where this technology is headed next. Whether you’re an architect, engineer, contractor, or sustainability professional, you’ll discover practical insights that could change how you approach your next project.

The materials of the future are growing in fields today. Ready to build with them?

Don’t miss this opportunity to gain expert insights and engage in discussions on the evolving landscape of material solutions with bioplastics!
