Save the Date - 6th Biobased Performance Materials Symposium 15 June 2017


Source: RU Wageningen

We are pleased to announce that the 6th Biobased Performance Materials symposium will take place in Wageningen, the Netherlands on Thursday, 15 June 2017. Please save this date in your calendar.

The 2017 edition of the BPM symposium will focus on the topic “How R&D on biobased materials leads to market entry”. Key industry players from the entire value chain- ranging from agrifood to polymer processing companies, end application producers and users, will reflect on their R&D strategies. Registration for this event is now open!

In the Biobased Performance Materials (BPM) research programme, companies and knowledge institutes from across the value chain are working together in developing high-quality materials based on biomass; materials that are being increasingly applied in practice. The research focuses on two types of materials: polymers produced by plants, and polymers from biobased building blocks produced via biotechnology or chemical catalysis. The BPM programme is partly financed by the Dutch Top Sector Chemistry and is led by Wageningen University & Research Food & Biobased Research.
