At the workshop held on 16 October 2024 at European Bioplastics in Brussels, European Bioplastics discussed the concepts of alternative feedstock with representatives of outstanding research and innovation projects and how biowaste can be successfully used for bioplastics production. In the past years, several projects funded by the Horizon Programme for Research and Innovation and the Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking have been exploring ways to give residual and biowaste a second chance.

This workshop was the wrap up event of the EUBP talk series on Alternative Feedstock. The slides of the workshop are available too: https://zenodo.org/records/13986581

The following projects researched alternative feedstock for the production of biobased plastics and the recycling of bioplastics.
