Carbon Embedded in Products and Derived Materials<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Although experts project lower growth rates for the chemical and plastics industries in the coming decades, global demand for embedded carbon \u2013 the carbon in molecules \u2013 is expected to increase significantly to 1.15 Gt of carbon per year by 2050. Today, approximately 88 % of embedded carbon comes from fossil feedstocks, including oil, natural gas and coal. To achieve a fully defossilised economy, this demand must be met exclusively by renewable carbon sources. And there only are three sources of renewable carbon: biomass, the direct use of CO2<\/sub> and the recycling of carbon already in our technosphere.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Renewable Materials Conference 2023<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Set to take place from 23-25 May 2023, the Renewable Materials Conference brings together the brightest stars of the renewable materials sector in Siegburg\/Cologne (Germany). More than 500 participants are expected to attend the meeting point for global leaders in industry, science, and politics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the unique concept of uniting all renewable materials solutions at one event hits the mark: \u201cThe Renewable Materials Conference has established itself as one of the most important conferences for renewable materials worldwide,\u201d says Michael Carus, CEO of nova-Institute<\/strong> and spokesperson for the event. \u201cWe are proud to bring together global leaders in industry, science, and politics to shape the future of renewable materials and create a more sustainable world for generations to come.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

All information and registration for the event is available at: www.renewable-materials.eu<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top speakers from world-renowned companies, pioneering start-ups, high-profile research and high-level politics will present and discuss a diverse range of innovative solutions based on biomass, CO2<\/sub> and recycling in 80 presentations (main and parallel sessions), 20 panel discussions and several expert workshops. Attendees will gain valuable insights into the innovative technologies and solutions that are driving progress in renewable materials, and will learn about the latest trends and emerging opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than 40 top-class exhibitors are expected at a new and perfectly suited location \u2013 the conference center \u201cRhein Sieg Forum\u201d in Siegburg near Bonn and Cologne (Germany), easily accessible by high-speed train (ICI) from Brussels or Frankfurt, for example. A matchmaking area throughout the three days, long lunch breaks and three evening meeting points guarantee comprehensive and effective networking. Online networking starts two weeks before the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a focus on collaborative efforts and knowledge-sharing, the conference will provide a platform for attendees to engage in productive discussions and forge new partnerships. Participants will leave with a better understanding of the current state of renewable materials and a clear sense of the exciting possibilities that lie ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Join us at the Renewable Materials Conference in Siegburg\/Cologne, Germany from May 23-25, 2023, and be a part of the movement towards a more sustainable chemical, material and plastics industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Six Materials Nominated for the Innovation Award \u201cRenewable Material of the Year 2023\u201d<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

New materials will enable sustainable products in areas such as textiles, cosmetics, packaging, as well as elastic and biodegradable materials for a variety of applications. Participants will vote for the winners<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One way to overcome the industry\u2019s dependence on fossil carbon is to replace crude oil and natural gas with renewable carbon within the existing structures of the chemical industry. Other ways require innovation, the development of new processes, building blocks and materials. This means a new way of thinking about chemistry and materials. Ready-to-use, fossil-free, sustainable material solutions with a low carbon footprint are in rapidly growing demand. Innovative brand owners are looking for such solutions, especially those that will soon become mainstream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the innovation award \u201cRenewable Material of the Year 2023\u201d, nova-Institute, as organiser, and Covestro, as sponsor, aim to recognise particularly exciting and promising solutions that contribute to replacing fossil carbon from the ground. The call for submissions was answered by 30 companies. The advisory board and the nova experts had a hard time selecting the six most exciting and nominating them for the award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the second day of the conference, the nominated companies will present their products and all 500+ conference participants will vote for the three winners on site and online. An exciting competition for you to be a part of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
