This session is part of a three-part training series on Bio-based and Biodegradable Materials:
01. Demystifying the Bioeconomy: Key Terms and Concepts
02. From Biomass to Biorefinery: Creating a Truly Circular Economy
03. Bio-Based Breakthroughs: Emerging Markets and Materials
02. From Biomass to Biorefinery: Creating a Truly Circular Economy
This one-hour session introduces the feedstocks and processes that form the backbone of the bioeconomy. Participants will learn about the different types of biomass resources, how they are converted in biorefineries, and the range of technologies used to unlock value from renewable raw materials. Real-world case studies will illustrate how these processes enable more sustainable production systems, while also addressing technical and economic challenges. The session concludes with time for Q&A and discussion, helping participants connect these ideas to broader sustainability and innovation goals.
