3-step framework to sustainable plastics

With a forecast of more than 1 billion tonnes by 2050, the global demand for plastic is rapidly increasing. This growth presents a significant challenge due to its impact on the environment and resources. This challenges the industry to transition to a circular and sustainable system.

During this webinar TNO presents an innovative 3-step framework that supports companies in screening the best routes for sustainable alternatives for common plastic materials. Guiding decision-making to find the optimal balance between sustainability and economic feasibility across the different options

In addition to TNO’s circular plastic experts, Gert-Jan Gruter (CTO Avantium and professor industrial sustainable chemistry at the UvA) will join as a speaker to provide an external perspective, learnings, and considerations from his experience in developing and scaling sustainable chemicals.

Interesting for:

This webinar offers the (bio)plastic industry, brand owners, and policymakers systemic insights and guidelines to accelerate the transition to sustainable plastics.

Learn more in the webinar about:

  • Insights into methods for identifying potential candidates of novel biobased alternatives to existing fossil materials.
  • Combining Mass Flow Analysis and Life Cycle Analysis to screen determine sustainability.
  • Quick economic feasibility scans of different pathways.
  • Assessing the impact of constraints and scenarios.
  • Real-world learnings from developing and commercializing a biobased plastic alternative.

Get answers to questions such as:

  • What sustainable plastic alternatives are available beyond recycling?
  • How can we produce sustainable plastics from renewable carbon sources like CO2, hydrogen, and biomass?
  • What is the role of biobased plastics and how significant is this role?
  • And in which plastic product applications should we apply which type of sustainable plastic?
  • What are the initial results for common plastics products?
  • What are the challenges and dilemmas in developing and scaling new biobased materials?
  • How can the 3-step framework be applied to my situation?
