20 – 23 October 2024 | Penang, Malaysia

Towards Safe and Sustainable Biopolymers for our Future

Held from October 20 to 23, 2024, on the incredible Penang Island in Malaysia, this prestigious event organized by Universiti Sains Malaysia is a must-attend for anyone invested in the future of biopolymers.

With the theme “Towards Safe and Sustainable Biopolymers for our Future”, the 19th International Symposium on Biopolymers 2024 (ISBP-2024) promises a rich exploration of the latest research, innovations, and applications in biopolymers aimed at fostering sustainable solutions for tomorrow.

The symposium will have an exciting lineup of activities, including oral and poster sessions, as well as a day focused on the biopolymers industry, named Industry Day. Participants can expect a dynamic and enriching experience with opportunities to present their research, engage in discussions, and connect with industry professionals during this four-day event. This year’s edition brings together a distinguished Scientific Committee of biopolymer experts from over 15 countries, guaranteeing a high-calibre, globally informed program.

Ideal for academics, industry professionals, policymakers, and start-ups, ISBP-2024 is a key event for those who seek to advance in the biopolymers field. The Industry Day on October 23 will be dedicated to the latest in biopolymer production and applications, and exclusive exhibition opportunities for start-ups to gain visibility and connect with influential figures in the area.

The event will feature dynamic sessions on topics such as:

  • Engineering advances in biopolymer synthesis
  • Biosynthesis and characterisation of novel biopolymers
  • Exploring building blocks for bio-based polymers
  • Biodegradation pathways
  • Environmental impacts of biopolymers
  • Sustainable feedstocks for biopolymer production
  • Challenges in the industrial production of biopolymers
  • PHA waste management
  • Exploration of other biopolymers and bio-based polymers
  • Applications of novel biopolymers in various industries
  • Rubber biosynthesis and biodegradation

ISBP-2024 will honour exceptional contributions to the biopolymer field with four prestigious awards: the ISBP Lifetime Achievement Award, the Bernard Witholt PHA Award, the Industry Award, and the Best Poster Award. This celebration of achievement underscores ISBP-2024’s commitment to advancing the biopolymers field and fostering sustainable innovation globally.

We are happy to announce that RELIANCE will attend the ISBP-2024 with a keynote speaker: Professor Dr. Marti Roger, from HES-SO University of Applied Sciences and Arts Western Switzerland will take part in this prestigious event.
