18/09/2015: 8th European Symposium on Biopolymers


ESBP 2015 is the 8th edition of the bi-annual European Symposium on Biopolymers, whose tradition has started back in 2001.

The worldwide increasing interest in biopolymers production and application (the production of bio-based polymers is expected to reach 12 Mton within 2020, hence almost quadrupled with respect to 2011) makes this “traditional” meeting a primary opportunity to join together scientists and researchers, from both academia and industry, to gain a deeper insight on recent advances in the field, including but not limited to feedstock and production routes, downstream processing, properties and applications, technical-economical analysis, environmental fate and life cycle assessment.
