GCNPM 2026

12th Conference on Green Chemistry
& Nanotechnologies in Polymeric Materials

Donostia / San Sebastian (Spain)

June 15-17, 2026

The Conference for Sustainable Polymers & a Greener Future

Dear friends and colleagues, 

We are pleased to invite you to join the forthcoming 12th edition of the Green Chemistry and Nanotechnologies in Polymeric Materials (GCNPM 2026), taking place at San Sebastian, Spain, from June 15 to 17, 2026.

The GCNPM Conference Series was initiated in Pardubice, Czech Republic, in 2010 and has since been held annually in Riga, Latvia (2011); Krakow, Poland (2012); Pisa, Italy (2013); San Sebastian, Spain (2014); Bragança, Portugal (2015); San Jose, Costa Rica (2016); Prague, Czech Republic (2017); Krakow, Poland (2018); and Riga, Latvia (2019). Following the Prague conference in 2024, the GCNPM evolved into a biennial conference of considerable scale, attracting an ever-growing and increasingly diverse range of participants.

GCNPM conference brings together scientists, researchers, and industry leaders to discuss the most recent advances in green chemistry and polymer science. The program will cover a wide range of topics that highlight innovative strategies and sustainable solutions to address today’s environmental challenges:

  • Biobased monomers and polymers, natural polymers
  • Environmental degradation of polymers
  • Recycling and upcycling of polymers
  • Production design of sustainable polymers
  • Enzymatic reactions in macromolecular chemistry
  • Environmental-friendly polymerizations
  • Fixation of carbon dioxide into polymer materials
  • Dynamic networks, vitrimers
  • Sustainable solutions in polymer nanotechnologies
  • Global Threat of plastic pollution (environmental analysis, ecotoxicity, technological solution)

We look forward to meeting you in San Sebastian next June.
