Is agricultural bioplastics recycling realistic at scale? MoeBIOS wants that question answered by the people who use these materials every day, not just in a lab. Farms increasingly rely on bioplastic mulch films, pots and other products. However, the recycling routes for them are still taking shape.
MoeBIOS is an EU-funded project. It advances knowledge and technologies for sorting, conditioning and valorising bioplastics waste streams. The project spans three industries: packaging, agriculture and textiles. Within this work, MoeBIOS is now turning to agricultural operators directly for input on which solutions are worth pursuing.
Why Agricultural Bioplastics Recycling Needs Operator Input
Field conditions differ sharply from lab conditions. Soil contact, weather exposure and mixed organic residue all affect how bioplastics break down and how recyclable they remain. So, MoeBIOS wants direct input from operators. What’s missing? What would make agricultural bioplastics recycling realistic on your land?
What MoeBIOS Is Testing
During the session, MoeBIOS will present the recycling solutions it is currently developing for agricultural applications. Then, participants will give direct feedback on suitability, viability and usefulness for their operations. The session uses interactive polling to capture this input live.
How to Register
The agriculture session takes place on 14 October 2026. Meanwhile, dedicated sessions for textiles and packaging operators run separately on the same day. Each session uses MS Teams, so participants should join the slot that matches their sector.

A recycled bioplastics future for agriculture depends on input from the operators who work with these materials daily. For more on the wider event and the other sector sessions, see our main event announcement page.
