About

The BioEnvironmental Polymer Society, Inc. (BEPS). The quest for sustainable resources to meet the demands of a rapidly rising global population while mitigating risks of increasing CO2 emissions and associated climate change represents a grand challenge for humanity. Biomass offers the most readily implemented solution to non-petroleum organic molecules for the manufacture of bulk, fine and specialty chemicals, polymers and transportation fuels. Biomass feedstocks vary widely and include lignocellulosics, other carbohydrates, protein, oil-based and other materials derived from plant or aquatic sources. BEPS is a nonprofit society that seeks to:Advance fundamental knowledge of the design, chemical/biochemical synthesis, processing, analyses and applications of polymers derived from readily renewable carbon.Feature new technology and commercial successes presented by new, small and large businesses.Welcome research related to biorefineries that focuses on developing individual biomass process streams that contain primary biomass components and the effective integration of these streams.Promote basic research, education/training as well as to facilitate information exchange among researchers in the areas of biology, chemistry, engineering, materials science, life-cycle analysis, agriculture, environmental and wildlife protection, forestry, environmental policy, and waste management.
