As consumer demand and regulatory standards rise, compost and marine certifications are becoming market entry requirements. Biodegradable materials are often designed to meet minimum performance criteria for certifications that do not always align with environmental realities. This session explores frontier materials including enzyme-activated, for predictable degradation, improved performance and circularity. Collaboration will examine emerging technology breakthroughs and how performance biodegradables can unlock environmental and financial value. We’ll connect material, technology and manufacturing innovators in the room around new products, driving premium positioning and competitive advantage.
