NNFCC Conference - Linking Bio-Based Materials to Renewable Energy Production
1st March, The Geological Society,
London
Measuring the amount of renewable material in a given product is a contentious issue. Many bio-based materials contain combinations of both plant and fossil ingredients, but how we measure this can have serious economic and political implications.
This one day conference brings together experts in the field of measuring bio-based content to untangle this complex subject.
• Hear from leading speakers in the field of measuring bio-based content, including Chairman of the European Bioplastics Association Andy Sweetman from Innovia Films, Chris Manson-Whitton from Progressive Energy and Ben Sheridan from the British Standards Institute
• Your opportunity to add to the discussion and become more familiar with bio-based content before the new standards become law
• Learn how bio-based content can be measured and used to market consumer products through labelling
• Find out how bio-based content may be the basis of certification schemes for future renewable energy production
Attendees will include regulators and those working in the areas of waste, plastics, composites, fuel and energy.
Measuring the renewable (or bio-based) content of a material can be used to market a product or act as a source of value when used to generate renewable energy.
However, the level of renewable material can be expressed in different ways. This has important implications for meeting renewable targets and the development of procurement programmes across a range of sectors.
