2nd Sustainable Feedstocks for the future of Chemicals & Plastics

• Renewable & Biomass Feedstocks
  Strategic investments in feedstock sources and conversion technologies play a crucial role in bridging the gap towards achieving net-zero emissions. Discover the potential of renewable and biomass feedstocks, and the demand for feedstocks security. Embrace a shift towards sustainable alternatives, reducing reliance on traditional fossil-based resources and promoting eco-friendly practices.
• Carbon Capture & Utilization: Turning Emissions into Assets
  Utilizing captured CO2 as a feedstock can lead to the development of a circular carbon economy, where CO2 emissions become a resource rather than waste. Yet, unlocking the complete potential of CCU demands cooperation among governments, industries, and researchers, coupled with favorable policies and incentives.
• Chemical Recycling: Reshaping the Plastics Landscape
  While chemical recycling presents promising opportunities, it faces notable challenges. A key obstacle is scalability, where establishing extensive facilities requires significant investments in both infrastructure and technology. Moreover, maintaining consistent feedstock quality is crucial for optimal outcomes, as fluctuations in input materials may impact the final product’s quality.
• Green Claim Directives
  The proposed directive would require companies to substantiate the voluntary green claims they make in business-to-consumer commercial practices, by complying with a number of requirements regarding their assessment (e.g. taking a life-cycle perspective). Find out what is the impact of EU green claims directive on the chemical sector, plus insights from FMCG customers!
• Science-Based Targets & EU ETS/CBAM: Global Commitments
  Align with science-based targets and gain first-hand knowledge on the draft SBTi standards for the chemical industry. Navigate the evolving landscape of EU ETS and CBAM regulations to understand the impact it has on the chemicals & plastics industry.

Collaboration within the industry and with other sectors is critical for driving sustainability. Industry initiatives and partnerships are formed to share best practices, research, and resources to accelerate the adoption of sustainable feedstocks and practices. The integration of renewable resources, chemical recycling, and energy efficiency measures is essential for building a more environmentally friendly and resilient chemical industry.
