Renewable Materials Conference 2026

The transition away from fossil carbon is creating new opportunities across the chemicals, plastics, and materials industries. As companies look to reduce their reliance on fossil feedstocks, renewable carbon from biomass, CO₂, and recycling is becoming increasingly important to building a more resilient and circular materials economy.

Join industry leaders, innovators, policymakers, and investors at the Renewable Materials Conference 2026, taking place September 22–24 in Siegburg/Cologne, Germany, and online. Under the theme “Defossilisation through Innovation,” this year’s conference will explore the technologies, materials, market developments, and policy frameworks shaping the transition to renewable carbon.

The three-day program will feature 75 presentations, 20 panel discussions, and 17 interactive workshops covering topics including fossil-free plastics, renewable chemicals and materials, circularity, lignin valorization, biodegradation, certification, market trends, and emerging policy developments.

Attendees will have the opportunity to:

• Explore emerging technologies and materials enabling the shift away from fossil carbon.
• Gain insight into market and policy developments shaping the renewable materials landscape.
• Hear perspectives from experts across the chemicals, plastics, materials, and renewable carbon value chains.
• Connect with innovators and industry leaders working to accelerate the commercialization of renewable materials.
• Discover new approaches to circularity, renewable feedstocks, CO₂ utilization, and bio-based materials.

Join the Renewable Materials Conference 2026 to explore where innovation is accelerating and what the transition to renewable carbon could mean for the future of chemicals and materials.
