Bioplastics and Biopolymers are becoming sustainable new-age replacements for traditional plastics, focusing on the world's issues of pollution, fossil resource exhaustion, and environmental degradation. This is the focus at the Material Science & Engineering World Conference 2026, demonstrating how materials of biological origin are transforming packaging, agriculture, biomedical devices, and beyond.

The conference will include specific sessions on the synthesis, processing, and utilization of biopolymers and bioplastics, with emphasis on performance, biodegradability, and scalability. Top researchers, environmental scientists, and industry experts will present current developments and future outlooks in:

• Starch-, cellulose-, and protein-based biopolymers
• Polylactic acid (PLA), PHA, PBS, and other biodegradable plastics
• Biopolymer blends and nanocomposites
• Sustainable sourcing and circular bioeconomy
• Processing techniques and functional property enhancement
• Biodegradation pathways and environmental impact
• Applications in packaging, agriculture, and healthcare

Through cross-industry discussion, MSEWC 2026 will bring to the fore how Biopolymers and Bioplastics are creating a more sustainable material tomorrow through innovation, stewardship, and environmentally friendly design.
