As industries shift toward more sustainable practices, biomanufacturing is opening new frontiers in material creation. This panel session will bring together entrepreneurs, biologists, and engineers to highlight how companies are leveraging nature-inspired design principles like circularity and regeneration to transform waste streams into valuable materials. By harnessing biomanufacturing, and focusing on regional processing, businesses can rethink production models, scale innovative materials, and address supply chain constraints while contributing to closed-loop industrial ecosystems where waste becomes a resource.

Learning Outcomes:

• Discover exciting advancements in biomanufacturing for sustainable material creation.

• Learn how companies are integrating the principles of waste=food into their production processes.

• Gain insight into the challenges and opportunities of scaling biomanufacturing for efficient, onshore supply chains and circular industrial parks.
