Division/Committee: [CELL: Division of Cellulose and Renewable Materials] [PMSE: Division of Polymeric Materials Science and Engineering]

The symposium, Advances in Renewable Materials for a Circular Economy, focuses on cutting-edge innovations in the field of renewable materials that address climate change and reduce environmental impact. This event highlights a range of topics, including the preparation, analysis, and application of renewable materials, with a particular emphasis on biomass valorization the process of converting biomass into valuable products. Key areas of discussion include recent advances in protein and polysaccharide chemistry, glycosciences, structure-property relationships, and biomass processing. The symposium seeks research and developments that produce high-value, cost-effective materials, facilitating the integration of renewable resources into current manufacturing practices. Attendees will gain insights into how these emerging technologies and approaches can provide solutions to global environmental challenges while enhancing product value and contributing to a circular economy.
