Join BioMADE at the 2025 Innovators Roundtable in Colombus, Ohio on September 11th to hear from Steve Evans, Research Fellow at BioMADE for Session 7: Future Fit Materials - Addressing the Challenge. This session will address companies across the value chain are seeking safe, defossilized, sustainable, and circular chemistries for a range of functions and applications. These criteria need to be met while minimizing tradeoffs. In collaboration with Sustainable Brands, Change Chemistry has initiated a project aimed at innovating, identifying, and promoting the adoption of these "Future-Fit" materials, focusing primarily on polymers. What are the possibilities, implications, and challenges for these polymers, from the carbon feedstock through end of life considerations? What are the innovation, collaboration, and incentivization needs to drive scale?

Moderated by Rui Resendes, Director of Partnerships & Business Development, Change Chemistry, and featuring presenters:

  • Todd Cline, Sr. Director Sustainable Innovation, P&G
