Distinguished Guests, Industry Experts, and Partners,


As we stand at the beginning of the “15th Five-Year Plan” period, in response to the national policy direction of advancing the “dual carbon” strategy and promoting green and low-carbon development, the Zhejiang Provincial Key Laboratory of Bio-based Polymer Materials and Ningbo DT Material Technology Information Co., Ltd. (DT New Materials) will jointly host the 11th Bio-based Conference & Exhibition (Bio-based 2026) from May 20 to 22 in Shanghai. As a leading event in the bio-based industry, the exhibition will feature 11 thematic forums, 7 concurrent events, 1,000 new product displays, and the DT New Leaf Award selection & ceremony.


The conference will invite over 100 industry experts, industrial leaders, and end-user brands to share insights on global strategic trends and opportunities, cutting-edge technologies and industrialization, development of key materials and supply chain collaboration, market demand and material fit, standards and certification systems, project roadshows, and partnership building. Meanwhile, to discover pioneers in the bio-based sector, 58 organizations have already submitted 76 new products for the #2026 DT New Leaf Award – often recognized as the “Oscar of the bio-based industry.” The exhibition will support the innovation, development, exchange, and cooperation of the entire bio-based industry chain, offering end users forward-looking insights from technology to application. The expected number of participants is over 1,500.


The conference is now open for registration. A total of 60 exhibition booths are available (only 15 left). We warmly welcome all industry colleagues to participate, share, exchange ideas, and showcase new products. Together, let us navigate a new cycle and ignite fresh vitality!

07 | Bio-based 2026 Exhibition

1000+ New Products on Display


The 11th Bio-based Exhibition is expected to display more than 1,000+ new products, with "Technology + New Products + Demand-side Connection" as the core keywords. It will focus on innovative products such as bio-based innovative materials and products (including packaging materials, footwear and apparel, 3D printing, structural parts, etc.), bio-based monomers (such as alcohols/acids/amines, etc.), non-grain biomass raw materials, modified materials, engineering process solutions (AI/process solutions/EPC/digital systems, etc.), testing and certification (degradability testing/bio-based content testing, etc.), and instrumentation (reactors/purification/pump structures, etc.). It will deeply connect the upstream and downstream of the industry and international resources to promote new vitality in industrial cooperation.


Concurrent with the exhibition, there will be exclusive planned supporting activities including terminal brand demand connection sessions, "Expert Consultation" technology matching meetings, bio-based material standard review meetings, and new product and technology launch conferences.
