Be part of an industry on the move
PBS is the international event for bioeconomy where biobased solutions actors and end-users build together tomorrow’s sustainable economy!
« Green Deal »: these 2 words are setting the scene in Europe for the years to come. The breadth of the project they encompass will push any industry to align its long-term strategy to reach the sustainability objectives that are compulsory to achieve, for us, our children, our grand-children… and the society as a whole.
Plant Based solutions are fully concerned by this political proposal. And if you attentively screen the content of the European Green Deal, you’ll find many domains where our activities are relevant. The framework to support these industries is set: European Circular Bioeco- nomy Strategy, renewal of the Public-Private Partnerships dedicated to the Bioeconomy or the definition of the taxonomy to define the perimeter of « green investments ». At the same time, Member States are deepening their approach to efficiently support biobased products and chemicals.
But industrial development is not only fueled by the overall political context. It also needs a market and the understanding of customers’ demand and wishes. Innovation will also be crucial to answer to fast evolving and ever more aware customers. And for each market, the keys for success are different.
Plant Based Summit 2021 will offer to all actors of the biobased world to meet and build to- gether a sound understanding of these items: investment tools, market trends, customer ac- ceptance, political framework…. By confronting their views, by listening to high level speakers as well as knowledgeable people “working on the field”, each one will deepen his understan- ding of what are the challenges and opportunities of these solutions in the targeted market as well as what are the successful innovations.
In a world which appears to be more and more turbulent, let’s build together the path to sus- tainable growth.

Summit is supported by the conferences program’s advisory board, made up of experts of the sector who represent the whole international bio-based market!

The Green deal: the SWOT matrix of biobased solutions
In its new growth strategy, the European Union is moving towards an energy and environmental transition to meet the challenges of global warming.
What capacities can bio-based chemistry and bioproductions have in this economic construction project? How can they be integrated in a sustainable and viable way in a context where some economic players will tend to «green» their image more than their activity/production and where the extreme variation in oil prices limits the development of plant-based chemistry?
The Green deal is emerging as a real driving force for change that sets out a precise regulatory framework and helps to generate new commercial opportunities where plant-based chemistry can make its voice heard.
What strategies and financing will the Green Deal provide for the players in the sector? What are the advantages of the plant-based industry in the context of national sovereignty and the re-industrialization of Europe?
Chairman: Marco MENSINK, Director General, CEFIC
Circular Bioeconomy: a key to implement the Green Deal and other EU Strategies

Biobased skin care products
The wellness sector is undergoing significant transformations. Consumers tend to use more reasoned, more natural products, forcing suppliers to adapt their production chain. What contributions can plant-based chemistry and biotechnologies make from a qualitative but also
a civic point of view (healthier and more environmentally friendly products) while fitting into a circular economy model? What new molecules and new sources are emerging from this opportunity? What place for naturalness in such a competitive market?

Biorefineries for a circular bioeconomy
Europe has recognized bioeconomy as part of the circular economy. Biorefineries are key components of that circularity as they provide the opportunity to valorise every fraction of the biomass. But each biorefinery is a different model and a source of specific value streams for biobased products. At the same time as former food/feed focused industrial units broaden their output with biobased chemicals, chemical sites welcome biobased production units. What are the drivers for these industrial developments, their strengths and weaknesses? What are the challenges they face? What is the value created and how to share it?

environmental sensitivity of consumers, which is increasingly present, especially among young people (under 30 years old). Manufacturers are not mistaken, including in the «Pro» market segment, by investing heavily in plant sourcing.
However, there are different approaches depending on the target of the products:
- Professional market (BtoB): customers’ expectations remain at the level of product performance, with the «biosourced» dimension still seen as secondary - it remains little claimed because its value to the end customer is not yet very promising. However, manufacturers are investing massively in R&D on developments because they anticipate a strong evolution in demand in these areas. Demand is beginning to emerge in certain countries, such as Switzerland and Germany.
However, the availability of certain bio-based raw materials and their higher costs (compared to a fossil raw material) remain two current constraints.
- Construction market (BtoC): As the claim «biosourced» is still little recognized, the (real) interest in plant sourcing is above all as a lever to meet the major challenges of the company, which are the reduction of the carbon footprint, the development of short circuits (European biomass), The search for functionalities such as biodegradability, ... To integrate the strategic vision of the company, the «plant sourcing»
reflection must be articulated with other tools and reflections such as LCA, circular economy, ....

Today’s industry implies new technical challenges and new process to poduce in the shortest amount of time.
Nevertheless, a cleaner production means to mobilize time and people to figure out new ways to improve the production but also the products’
composition (raw materials, effects on nature and humans, tracability, biodegrability…).
