H&PC Today by TKS, in collaboration with the NYSCC Suppliers’ Day organizers, is pleased to announce a live session dedicated to biotechnology innovations in personal & home care titled “Biodesigned Care: Biotechnology as a New System for Creating Personal & Home Care”.
CALL FOR ABSTRACTS IS OFFICIALLY OPEN: READ ALL DETAILS BELOW!
THE SESSION
As consumer expectations, climate pressures, and manufacturing systems evolve, biotechnology is emerging not only as a source of new ingredients, but as a fundamental redesign of how we create personal and home care. Biotechnology is moving beyond single ingredients to reshape how products are designed, manufactured, regulated, and experienced. This biodesign approach treats biology as a partner in sustainability, performance, and sensory innovation—offering solutions that are circular, low-energy, emotionally resonant, and aligned with human physiology.
This session, fully curated by our team, will take place during the 2026 NYSCC Suppliers’ Day tradeshow, and aims to showcase real-world applications and future strategies from across personal and home care, exploring how biotechnology:
- Solves functional and sustainability challenges
- Enables new sensory and emotional experiences
- Reframes claims, transparency, and regulation
- Introduces circular and engineered-natural systems
- Unlocks platform models, not just products
This is biotechnology not as trend, but as transformation— a new system for designing the next era of care.
KEYWORDS
Biodesign • Precision fermentation • Engineered natural • Biofabrication & biomaterials • Carbon circularity • Waste-to-value • Biosurfactants & bioenzymes • Controlled release • AI-enabled biology • Future claims & transparency
CALL FOR ABSTRACT
We invite submissions that illustrate biotechnology as a pathway to:
- Solve long-standing consumer or industry challenges
- Deliver measurable sustainability, carbon, energy, or water benefits
- Enable new sensory, emotional, or neurobiological experiences
- Introduce new materials, formats, or circular manufacturing models
- Redefine transparency, claims, verification, and certification
- Transition from single products to platforms and pipelines
REQUIREMENTS
Submissions should clearly address:
- The problem or unmet need
- The biotechnology solution applied
- Evidence of performance and/or reduced impact
- Differentiation vs. conventional approaches
- Future implications (scale, portfolio expansion, regulation)
- Lessons learned (scientific, regulatory, manufacturing, or consumer acceptance)
We welcome contributions from brands, biotech startups, ingredient suppliers, academic research teams, material scientists, investors, and cross-industry collaborators.
The proposed speaker architecture ensures balance across vision, application, regulation, and future strategy:
- Keynote – The State of Biodesign: Big vision, Sets the frame
- Personal Care Case Study: Function & efficacy, Consumer outcome
- Home Care Case Study: Sustainability & performance, Low-energy / carbon
- Sensory/Emotional Biodesign: Experience design, Opportunity category
- Regulatory/Future Claims: Guardrails, Trust & transparency
IMPORTANT INFO
- Each selected speaker will have 25 minutes for their presentation
- Deadline: January 23
Abstracts should be sent to: giorgia.calvi@teknoscienze.com including contact details and title. Subject: NYSCC Suppliers’ Day abstract submission
