The Greener Manufacturing Show is the must-attend event for any sustainability-focused company looking to design and manufacture their products from more sustainable materials, limit and eliminates the use of toxic chemicals, and reduce the impact of their industrial and manufacturing processes on the environment and global climate change.

Bioplastics MAGAZINE in cooperation with GO!PHA is organizing the 3rd PHA-platform World Congress on 10+11 October, at the Westin Peachtree Plaza, Atlanta, USA. The congress will address the progress, challenges and market opportunities for the formation of this new polymer platform in the world. Every step in the value chain will be addressed. Raw materials, polymer manufacturing, compounding, polymer processing, applications, opportunities and end-of-life options will be discussed by parties active in each of these areas. Progress in underlying technology challenges will also be addressed. We are excited to announce our first line-up of speakers!

European Symposium on Biopolymer (ESBP) is a traditional and successful series of symposia dedicated to all the aspects of biopolymers – an outstanding category of materials that includes polyesters, polysaccharides, polyamides, polyphosphates but also other polymeric materials of natural origin. The ambition of the series is to gather experts from very versatile fields such as molecular biology or biotechnology but also from material science and processing to share their knowledge, experience, and also opinions on all the aspects related to biopolymers and drive the field of biopolymer science further. In addition, the ambition of the conference is also to provide a platform to bring closer academy and industry.

The 3rd Annual Bioplastics Innovation Forum, through a series of top-level presentations, interactive panel discussions, and solution-based case studies will try to answer some of the questions and solve some of the challenges that the bioplastics industry is currently facing. The delegates will find a learning platform where they can see the latest advancements and technological innovations in the production of bio-based and biodegradable plastics.

ISPO Munich is the biggest get-together of the sports industry to discuss product innovations. This year, one of the key topics of discussion at the expo is sustainability. From discussing the inspiring stories of sustainable transition to the challenges and opportunities the sports industry currently faces in this area; this expo will take a closer look into environmental protection and sustainability.

In a special materials dialogue, GO!PHA will present the opportunities and benefits of the PHA-platform for the sports and fitness industry.

The Greener Manufacturing Show is the must-attend event for any sustainability-focused company looking to design and manufacture their products from more sustainable materials, limit and eliminates the use of toxic chemicals, and reduce the impact of their industrial and manufacturing processes on the environment and global climate change.
