Prof Mohanty presented his work titled "Circular economy towards improved sustainability of bioplastics and biomaterials - Green packaging to ecofriendly light-weight auto-parts" at the Symposium of Biotechnology for Fuels and Chemicals helf in Seattle, Washington from April 28th-May 1, 2019.

The first Symposium on Biomaterials for Fuels and Chemicals was held in 1978 and hosted by Oak Ridge National Laboratory (Oak Ridge, TN). It was the first technical meeting focusing exclusively on the biotechnologically-­‐mediated conversion of renewable feedstocks, especially lignocellulosic plant biomass, to fuels and chemicals. This annual meeting soon became large enough to be co-­‐hosted by the predecessor of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (Golden, CO) and the Symposium’s location alternated yearly between Tennessee and Colorado. In 2008, SIMB began handling the logistics of the meeting and locations were expanded to include other states, with the Symposium being held in alternate years in the eastern or western United States.
