Transforming local bio-based waste streams into circular textile and building materials

This event will consider a range of novel approaches for transforming local waste bioresources into textile and building materials. Hosted by the Bioeconomy Cluster Builder and Dr Miriam Ribul, the Materials Circularity research strand lead of the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) Interdisciplinary Textiles Circularity Centre, it will bring together inspiring speakers and include focussed breakout spaces to facilitate connection and discussion.

Join us to hear a range of perspectives and engage with diverse stakeholders from the creative and scientific communities, as they consider design and manufacturing opportunities in this rapidly evolving area.

Presentations will be followed by breakout sessions aimed at fostering new connections and collaboration. Thematic areas will include; new material properties and processes, integration of waste-derived biomaterials in existing technology and supply chains, opportunities for local transformation of waste bioresources into circular materials, funding for materials innovation. Please indicate during the registration process which break-out room you would like to attend.
