SSbD workshop & booth at the BPP2026
The Biopartitioning and Purification Conference (BPP 2026) will bring together, from 6th to 9th September 2026 in Bled (Slovenia), experts from academia and industry to exchange insights on the latest advances in bioseparation, purification, and sustainable bioprocessing.
The conference will explore emerging topics including AI-driven process optimisation, biomass processing and waste valorisation, novel bioproducts, life cycle assessment, and regulatory frameworks. Through keynote lectures, presentations, posters, round-table discussions, and networking, BPP 2026 will provide a good platform for sharing knowledge, showcasing innovations, and building new collaborations for the future of sustainable bioprocessing.
The BPP2026 is co-organised by the SSbD4CheM project. Together with our sister project TOXBOX we are organising on September 9th a SSbD workshop entitled “REGULATORY AND SUSTAINABILITY CONSIDERATIONS”.
- The plenary speaker of the workshop will be Barry Hardy, from Edelweiss Connect, with a talk on “SSbD for bio-based innovation: Integrating scientific evidence, digital technologies and human-AI collaboration”.
- Uroš Novak, from NIC, will also give an oral presentation on the cosmetic case study, entitled “Implementing a SSbD Framework for nanocellulose-enhanced cosmetics formulations”.
In the “Projects Fair”, SSbD4CheM is also having a booth full of showcase materials of our automotive, textile and cosmetic case studies, presented by Beatriz Alfaro Serrano (BNN):
- automotive interior parts made of lightweight lignocellulosic natural-based fillers (Stellantis, Wood K plus)
- PFAS-free bio-based coatings (textiles) with hydrophobic, self-cleaning, and antimicrobial properties (KORTEKS, NOVEX)
- nanoplastics-free cosmetics: face cream, SPF lotion, facial mud mask (AHAVA Dead Sea Laboratories, NIC)
Looking forward to meeting many of you there!
