Bioplastics Conference

About

Join us for the inaugural Bioplastics Conference, where innovators, researchers, policymakers, industry leaders, and sustainability advocates will come together to share insights, participate in dynamic panels, and showcase groundbreaking advancements shaping the future of sustainable materials.

Project Background

In January 2024, the Makerere Research and Innovation Fund funded the project titled:
"Harnessing Sugarcane Bagasse and Sisal Fiber for Sustainable Bioplastics: A research-driven innovation for environmental conservation in Uganda."

This bioplastics conference is a culmination of the work carried out under this umbrella project.

Why It Matters

We recognize that this conference will steer conversations on:

• Combating the effects of plastic waste on human health and the environment
• Climate action
• Global efforts to realize net zero and climate resilience by 2050
