Cebu City – The National Academy of Science and Technology, Philippines (NAST PHL), in partnership with the Department of Science and Technology Region VII, will conduct a "Science Policy Forum on Development of Bioplastics from Marine Sources in the Philippines: R&D and Policy Needs" on 23 August 2024. This event, which will take place in Cebu City and online via Zoom, is part of NAST PHL's project "Bioplastics: Technical Challenges and Opportunities for the Philippines" under the Special Concerns Program.
The forum will bring together experts to discuss the potential of seaweed-based bioplastics as an eco-friendly alternative to traditional plastics. The event aims to inform and potentially update the Philippine Plastics Industry Roadmap, exploring marine-sourced bioplastics as a strategic option for sustainable development. It is open to industry professionals, researchers, policymakers, and interested members of the public.
