Future of BioPackaging 2026
Innovative Materials, Circular Solutions and the Future of Sustainable Packaging
Future of BioPackaging 2026 is an international online conference bringing together companies, research institutions, brand owners, packaging manufacturers, material developers and other key stakeholders from across the sustainable packaging value chain.
The event will focus on innovative bio-based materials, recyclable packaging solutions and circular concepts that can help reduce the packaging industry’s dependence on fossil resources. Expert presentations will provide insights into current technological developments, practical applications, regulatory requirements and the commercialisation of sustainable packaging innovations.
Key topics will include bio-based polymers, coatings, adhesives, barrier materials, fibre-based composites and new packaging formats. The programme will also examine recyclability, compostability, circular design, safe and sustainable product development, scalability and the transition from laboratory research to market-ready applications.
Particular emphasis will be placed on solutions that combine environmental benefits with the technical performance, cost efficiency and production capacities required by industrial users. Speakers from companies and research organisations will present current projects, technologies and case studies, highlighting both successful approaches and remaining challenges.
In addition to the conference programme, participants will have opportunities to connect with potential cooperation partners, exchange knowledge and establish new contacts across the international packaging and bioeconomy sectors via B2Match.
Future of BioPackaging 2026 offers a focused platform for discovering emerging technologies, discussing market and regulatory developments and exploring new opportunities for collaboration. Participation is free of charge, and the event will be held entirely in English.
