Date: 12 - 13 December 2024
Location: The Royal Society of Chemistry, Burlington House, Piccadilly, London, W1J 0BA
Agenda: Draft agenda

The Applied Materials Chemistry Group (AMCG), the Industrial Physical Chemistry Group (IPCG), the Sustainable Chemicals and Materials Manufacturing Hub (SCHEMA),  and the Innovation Centre for Applied Sustainable Technologies (iCAST) are delighted to announce second seminar on sustainable chemical feedstocks. The event is a collaboration between industry and academia and will focus on three main topics: Small Molecule Feedstocks, Circular Plastics, and Sustainable Chemicals from Underutilised Biomass. The Royal Society of Chemistry believe these topics are knit together by the idea of using materials that are not food-competitive, nor necessarily thought of as high value and generally under-utilised currently, but with a significant potential to improve sustainability within the chemical industry. Discussions and presentations will be a balance between academia and industry, with a focus on the practical and an honest appraisal of the benefits and pitfalls of the different technologies.

Session 1: Small Molecule Feedstocks (chaired by SCHEMA)
Session 2: Circular Plastics (chaired by iCAST)
Session 3: Sustainable Chemicals from Underutilised Biomass (chaired by the AMCG)

The event is kindly supported by our industry member SONICHEM , and Appleyard Lees Intellectual Property Law.
