BIO-BASED BUILDING MATERIALS

August 20, 2025 - August 21, 2025

For the fourth consecutive year, BIO-BASED BUILDING MATERIALS is setting the stage for a transformative conversation about bio-based construction materials, bringing together industry professionals, innovators, and thought leaders to explore how these sustainable materials can reshape the Danish construction sector and reduce its environmental footprint. This year's conference promises to be the most ambitious yet, with a program spanning two days and featuring speakers from five different countries, offering a wealth of insights into the future of eco-friendly construction.

The focus of this year's event is on how the construction industry can better integrate bio-based materials—those derived from renewable biological sources—into its practices. As the sector grapples with the urgent need to address climate change and environmental degradation, bio-based materials offer a promising path forward. These materials not only help in reducing the carbon footprint of buildings but also support a more sustainable approach to resource use.

Attendees will gain valuable knowledge on how to advocate for bio-based construction, armed with compelling arguments to present to customers, builders, and business partners. The conference is designed to provide concrete examples of how biogenic construction can be implemented in practice, showcasing successful case studies from both domestic and international leaders in the field.

A significant portion of the discussions will focus on the challenges associated with the production and utilization of bio-based materials. For a full-scale transition in the construction industry, it is essential to ensure that these materials are widely available and that their production does not conflict with other land uses such as agriculture, infrastructure, and energy production. The conference will address how Denmark can optimize land use to balance the needs of construction with environmental conservation and biodiversity.

This year’s program features a diverse lineup of speakers and representatives from various segments of the value chain, emphasizing the collaborative effort required to drive change. The event underscores the importance of cross-disciplinary engagement and international cooperation in overcoming the hurdles of adopting bio-based materials. By sharing experiences and strategies across borders, participants will be better equipped to tackle these challenges and contribute to a more sustainable construction industry.

BIO-BASED BUILDING MATERIALS promises to be an intense and inspiring two-day event, offering participants a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the world of bio-based building materials. With a comprehensive agenda and a global perspective, the conference aims to foster innovation, encourage best practices, and accelerate the transition towards more sustainable construction practices.
