Cepi Bioeconomy LAB – showcase of innovative, bio-based products in Brussels

Sep 23, 2024

Through circularity, wood-based textiles, construction items and technologies for carbon neutrality, paper and fibre-based products represent a tangible way for Europe to strengthen its open strategic autonomy and, at the same time, for citizens to make sustainable consumption choices in their daily life. This exhibition offers a window into a world where sustainable and climate-friendly products become the new normal for a climate-compatible economy.

After a first edition that took place at the UN’s FAO headquarters in Rome in the context of the 27th session of the UN’s Forestry Committee, Cepi is delighted to present its full bio-based products exhibition at Townhall Europe in Brussels. The exhibition gathers a variety of over 50 recyclable products and renewable solutions, sourced, manufactured and recycled in Europe using European technology.

The exhibition launch and networking cocktail are hosted by MEP Susana Solís Pérez (EPP, ES) and followed by two insightful sessions on the next day.

More information about the products can be found below.
