Event
Nordic Bioplastic Conference 2026
The Nordic Bioplastic Conference 2026 brings together industry, researchers and decision-makers working with bioplastics, biodegradable plastics and advanced polymer materials in complex and regulated applications.
Industriens Hus, København
Thursday 16 April 2026
09:00 - 17:00
English
Focus: informed decision-making
The conference moves beyond advocacy and addresses bioplastics as a professional and strategic material choice:
- When do bioplastics make sense?
- What trade-offs must be considered?
- Where are the limits?
What you will gain
You will meet leading experts, organisations and decision-makers from across the bioplastics value chain and gain insights into:
- Latest technological developments in bioplastics
- Market trends and industrial applications
- The evolving European regulatory landscape
- The role of biobased and biodegradable plastics in a circular economy
This year’s programme explores:
- Current trends in bioplastics and material development
- How technology is evolving – and how regulation responds
- The role of biobased and biodegradable plastics in circular systems
Networking and exchange across the value chain
The conference gathers companies, researchers, policymakers and industry organisations working with bioplastics. Expect case studies, expert insights and opportunities for dialogue throughout the day.
