The European Biopolymer Summit
ACI’s European Biopolymer Summit 2022, in London UK, will bring together senior executives and experts from biopolymer manufacturers, brand owners, chemical companies, major associations, raw materials, and technology companies, consultants, to discuss the latest changes, challenges and developments within the industry.
The summit will also provide a platform to meet experts from other industries – such as food & beverage, product & packaging and automotive – and discuss the latest strategies on commercialisation, application and market access of biopolymer products and methods in order to overcome current market challenges and maximise opportunities.
Participants will get an insight into the latest updates on the environmental projects, the feedstock’s landscape, the role of biopolymers in the circular economy, new technologies and much more.

Our exposure to micro and nano-plastic particles may result from the widespread use of plastic products and their release into the environment, where they degrade and enter our food chains, air, and water.
PlasticsFatE (Plastics Fate and Effects in the human body) is creating a comprehensive measurement programme to improve our present understanding of the impact of these particles and associated contaminants in the human body. This will inform a risk assessment strategy to support the health-relevant aims of the EU strategies for plastics. PlasticsFatE is a 48-month project funded by the Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation programme of the European Union. The project will run from 1st April 2021 to 31st March 2025.

Our two lead products are FDCA and Ray plantMEG™. Together, they enable the production of the plastic PEF: a novel, plant-based and fully recyclable plastic material with a powerful combination of environmental and performance features and with a wide range of applications – packaging, textiles, film, and many more.
Ray plantMEG™ is not only an important chemical building block for PEF, but Ray plantMEG™, along with PTA, can also produce bio-PET, creating great potential for existing PET markets. Fossil-based MEG, used to produce conventional PET, is a core component for everyday products such as plastic bottles, packaging, clothing, and furniture. With consumers making more environmentally conscious choices, the use of Ray plantMEG™ will provide brands with a sustainable, recyclable, and innovative alternative.
We believe in a fossil-free world. Let’s go!

At the event we strive not only to bring you to the same location at the same time as your customers/suppliers/peers, we strive to ensure you meet face-to-face with each and every one of your target contacts and to provide you with the time you need to have multiple unhurried conversations with them and build a lasting business relationship:
- A pre-event informal introduction the evening before the conference
- A minimum of five hours’ networking built into the two day conference agenda
- A networking grid which enables you to make your target contacts aware you are looking for them
- The option to join either social drinks or dinner during the evening of Day One
- ACI’s on-site team will assist you in locating your hard-to-find target contacts & make face-to-face introductions
Of course, if there is anybody you are unable to meet over the two days, ACI’s event team will do their best to initiate contact after the event.
ACI is doing everything to ensure that all its events go ahead as advertised, returning to the much-missed and valuable face-to-face interaction as soon as possible. In order to ensure the events are delivered as safely as possible, venues are chosen and procedures are adjusted in line with the relevant local and regulations and guidelines.
These have been exceptionally challenging times with very fast-moving updates. As we get closer to an event we look at each one individually, paying careful heed to local regulations, but without ignoring the international situation. Whatever happens, ACI will safeguard the investments that attendees have made by either automatically moving it to the new dates of the event or a full credit will be provided for use when booking a future ACI event.
