The Renewable Materials Conference is the major event for the global circular carbon economy. It presents solutions and technologies for the transformation of the Chemical Industry from fossil to renewable feedstocks. These feedstocks are based on biomass, recycling and (bio-)CO₂.

The conference offers networking opportunities for all members of the renewable value-chains, policy makers, brands, start-ups and researchers.

As participant of the Horizon Europe programme you can present your project with a poster, a talk or in a (shared) booth.

Join us for the final BioReCer Annual Stakeholders Meeting to explore the key outcomes of the project and discover how digital tools can support transparent and trusted certification schemes in the bio-based sector. The session will include a presentation of project highlights, a live demonstration of the BioReCer ICT Tool (BIT), and an interactive roundtable with diverse stakeholders to validate the tool and gather feedback. As the BioReCer project nears completion, this final forum offers an opportunity to reflect on its main achievements and test the BIT in action. Stakeholders from across the value chain—including consumers, certifiers, and industry — will join a roundtable to assess its usability, effectiveness, and future applications, with the audience invited to contribute via live feedback.

Moderation: Dušica Banduka, nova-institute
14:00 – 14:30 BioReCer Progress Update; Presenter: Lucia Gonzalez, CETAQUA
14:30 – 14:50 BioReCer ICT Tool (BIT); Presenter: Romain Magnani EGM,
14:50 – 15:30 Roundtable discussion with experts
15:30 – 16:00 Q&A and live feedback

In just a few years, the Renewable Materials Conference (RMC) has established itself as the international meeting place for innovators, companies and brands, investors and policymakers to develop and shape the future renewable carbon economy. As in previous years, the conference organiser nova-Institute expects 400-500 participants from around the world.

The extraction of fossil resources from the ground and their use in the energy and chemical sectors is by far the largest contributor to human-made climate change, accounting for 90% of GHG emissions. While in the energy sector decarbonisation is the way forward, the only option for the chemicals and plastics sectors is to change the carbon source from fossil to renewable carbon: The use of biomass, CO₂ and recycling is the only way forward.

RMC 2025 aims to provide answers to pressing questions for suppliers and brands, investors and policymakers: How to defossilise the chemical industry and remain competitive? How to meet the demand for fossil-free plastics? How to create sustainable carbon cycles? What role will biodegradation play in the circular economy?

In a project booth, the Horizon Europe projects (tackling bio-based certification) 3-CO, BioReCer and Star4bbs  will present their latest findings.

We are pleased to invite you to the Second Multi-Stakeholder Online Meeting of the BioReCer project, titled “Advancing Bio-Based Products Certification: A Collaborative Path Towards Sustainability”, taking place on November 27, 2024, from 15:00 to 16:30 CET.

This past year has seen significant progress and developments of the Horizon Europe project BioReCer that will greatly enhance the certification of bio-based products. We would love to share these advancements with you and gather your valuable feedback. In addition, we will inform participants about the Biomass Utilisation Factor, a new metric combining cascading use and production efficiency into one indicator to investigate the circularity of materials for the circular bioeconomy. We also value your input for an upcoming policy brief that aims to influence policymakers, helping shape the EU policy of tomorrow.

As you may know, BioReCer strengthens certification schemes to boost the acceptance of bio-based feedstock and products from biological waste, both by industry and consumers, and to enhance the competitiveness of Europe’s bio-based economy. Our goal is to address the needs of all stakeholders across the bio-based product value chain. To succeed, the project depends on the input and collaboration of a broad range of stakeholders, including: Producers and processors of bio-based feedstock, Bio-based industries, Certification Bodies, Policy Makers, Scientists, Consumers and their associations…

Your participation is crucial in driving the EU’s transition toward a more sustainable economy. This event will give you the opportunity to stay informed about the project’s achievements, monitor its progress, and see how your input can shape its future development.

The detailed agenda will be available shortly, but we encourage you to save your place now by registering [here]!
