Bioproducts World Showcase and Conference

The OBIC Bioproducts Innovation Center at Ohio State University will host the Bioproducts World Showcase and Conference, October 6-8 in Columbus.

Denny Hall, OBIC Director says it’s fitting for Ohio to host this first-of-its-kind event.

“Ohio has been a phenomenal leader in the bioproducts industry, we draw it from our agricultural heritage,” said Hall. “Ohio ranks number one in the nation in polymers, we’re number one in paints and coatings, we’re number one in rubber, we’re number one in adhesives, we’re number one in cleaners and detergents and we’re number three or four in plastics, Ohio is unlike any other place where you have both its agricultural industry and its chemical and polymer manufacturing, so it’s right that Ohio should lead this and it’s great for all of us that we are able to showcase that.”

Hall says the conference program will feature a number of speakers and manufacturers will showcase a number of bioproducts.

The Bioproduct Innovation of the Year will be presented on Monday, October 6 and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack is scheduled to speak at the event on Tuesday, October 7.
