Webinar

This webinar focuses on polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), an emerging class of certified compostable bioplastics that are expanding the possibilities for sustainable packaging and products. Learn how PHA materials are produced, their unique performance characteristics, and how they are being used in compostable applications today. Our panelists will discuss feedstocks, production processes, material innovations, and end-use products, while exploring the role PHA can play in advancing the circular economy. 

This joint webinar between BBIA and GCSB will compare how the EU, UK and US are shaping markets for sustainable bioproducts, with a particular focus on where policy supports — or obstructs — scale-up, market access and credible end-of-life outcomes. This fits the Global Center's emphasis on use-inspired, policy-relevant bioeconomy research, stakeholder co-generation, and circular bioeconomy outcomes, as well as the BBIA's interests across the bioeconomy.

This will be a virtual round-table discussion between three experts on regional policy: 

During early-stage drug discovery, novel compounds and intermediates often have limited toxicological data, so how do chemists and safety professionals protect themselves?
