From October 28 to 30, 2026, Nguyen Tat Thanh University hosted the International Conference on Circular Bioeconomy and Bio-based Product Innovation (AP-CBioVa 2026), bringing together scientists, researchers, and industry experts from around the world. As a contributor to the event, KLINOVA shared its technical expertise through a specialized training session on Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA) for plastic packaging products in Vietnam.
Held over three days, from October 28 to 30, 2026, the AP-CBioVa 2026 International Conference was hosted by Nguyen Tat Thanh University under the theme “Advancing sustainable biomass and bioresource conversion through research, technology and innovation across Europe and the Asia-Pacific Region.” The event brought together diplomatic representatives, international scientists and experts from France, the Netherlands, and Malaysia, representatives of the Delegation of the European Union to Vietnam, as well as numerous research institutes and universities across the country.
The conference provided a platform for discussions on key global strategies and frameworks, including the European Green Deal, the Bioeconomy Strategy, and the Paris Agreement, with a focus on advancing carbon neutrality and green industrial transformation.
A notable highlight was the announcement by the French National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment (INRAE) of the establishment and financial support for the France–Vietnam Joint Research Centre for Bioresource Transformation and Valorization (FV-BioVa Centre), based at Nguyen Tat Thanh University. Delegates also explored emerging technologies and applications, including biorefinery technologies, Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) production, and approaches to valorizing agricultural biomass across Southeast Asia.
On October 29, 2026, Dr. Nguyen Phuong Nam, CEO of KLINOVA, joined the conference as a technical speaker, delivering a specialized training session titled “Life Cycle Impact Assessment Study of Plastic Package Products in Vietnam.”
During the session, Dr. Nguyen Phuong Nam introduced and guided participants through advanced Life Cycle Assessment methodologies, demonstrating how environmental impacts and product carbon footprints can be measured and quantified throughout a product's life cycle. These approaches provide businesses with a scientific basis for identifying environmental hotspots, optimizing production processes, reducing plastic waste, and developing roadmaps toward the adoption of circular, bio-based packaging solutions.
KLINOVA's participation in AP-CBioVa 2026 reflects the company's strategic commitment to translating internationally recognized climate and environmental management standards into practical solutions for Vietnamese businesses.
Looking ahead, KLINOVA will continue to bridge scientific knowledge and real-world business applications. Through its specialized consulting services in greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), and ESG implementation, KLINOVA supports businesses in optimizing resource efficiency, strengthening competitiveness, and navigating increasingly stringent environmental and sustainability requirements in international markets.
