In the ever-evolving landscape of the construction sector, building safety has taken centre stage, with stringent regulations and heightened awareness driving the need for robust safety measures. The construction industry’s journey towards building with confidence is intrinsically linked to the intelligent and strategic use of chemicals. From enhancing the performance of traditional materials to fostering innovation in sustainable practices, chemicals are instrumental in shaping the future of construction.

As sustainability concerns continue to gain momentum, construction professionals in the UK are pressed to adopt eco-friendly practices and materials, aligning with the global shift towards greener and more environmentally conscious construction. As the industry continues to evolve, the collaboration between construction professionals and chemical experts becomes paramount in unlocking new possibilities and ensuring that buildings of the future stand tall with confidence. Join the BASA hosted mini conference where we will talk about the various issues in the field of construction and learn more about the challenges and trends facing the sector.

PANEL SESSION: Hosted by CPI (Centre for Process Innovation) for sustainable PLFs

Check website for update on featured speakers/panellists

Polymers in liquid formulations, or PLFs, are widely used chemical products that provide a range of effects in formulation, such as rheology modification, emulsification, thickening, stabilisation, binding and film-forming, from the shampoo we use to wash our hair, to the paint on the walls, and the lubricants in our car. Over 36.3 million tonnes are made and sold each year and so the chemical industry and the wider supply chain have a responsibility to ensure that the way these polymers are made, used and disposed of at their end of life has a minimal effect on the environment. However, unlike plastics, such polymers have not had their ‘blue planet’ moment despite there being much to do to address the sustainability challenges. Join CPI and the RSC’s PLF taskforce to discuss how collaboration can bring together the innovation eco-system in the UK to lead the way in improving the environmental profile of PLFs.

MINI CONFERENCE: Hosted by IBioIC (Industrial Biotechnology Innovation Centre)

Engineering Biology is a transformative technology that introduces engineering principles to biology, to design, scale, and commercialise biology derived products.

Engineering Biology plays an increasingly critical role in sustainability, and the UK’s journey to Net Zero. Its importance was recently recognised by the UK Government when they announced £2 billion of investment into Engineering Biology over the next 10 years. This session will explore all the building blocks needed to transition from chemical processing to bioprocessing. We will hear from industry and academia, highlighting the benefits Engineering Biology has brought to the development of sustainable end products. We will also introduce the UK’s support landscape for the design, build, test, and scaling of novel products and processes harnessing the power of Engineering Biology.
