BBIA/GCSB Bioplastics webinar – available to view

The Bio-based and Biodegradable Industries Association (BBIA) has kindly made a recent webinar on Bioplastics available to EBNet members  –  watch it here.

The presenter is Prof Jhuma Sadhukhan of the University of Surrey, who is UK Lead for the Global Center for Sustainable bioproducts (GCSB). The webinar covers the following topics:

  • Global Center for Sustainable Bioproducts overview
  • Why are bio-based, recyclable and bio-degradable plastics needed
  • What is our base polymer
  • Exploratory GWP analysis
  • Exploratory TEA
  • GCSB Team
  • Bioeconomy landscape

Prof Sadhukhan is an EBNet Co-I and Management Team member, who heads up our Process Integration and Sustainability Assessment Working Group (PISA WG) and leads Theme 3 on Technology Interfaces, which looks at the synergies and trade-offs between techno-economic and socio-environmental factors in Environmental Biotechnologies.

We are particularly grateful to BBIA and Prof Sadhukhan for sharing this video, as this event clashed with another webinar in the latest series from our BES WG and we know some people wanted to attend both.
