Dear Colleagues,It is our great pleasure to welcome you to ECOFRAM 2026, the 5th International Conference on Eco-Friendly Flame Retardant Additives and Materials, taking place from 15–17 June 2026 at Luleå University of Technology, in the scenic and innovative heart of northern Sweden.

As interest in sustainable, high-performance flame-retardant technologies continues to grow, ECOFRAM 2026 brings together experts from academia and industry in an engaging international forum. This year’s conference marks an important step forward in the shared pursuit of safer, more sustainable flame retardant solutions.

ECOFRAM 2026 will focus on cutting-edge research and emerging trends in areas such as:

• Bio-based flame-retardant additives and materials
• Polymers and composites containing biowaste-derived flame retardants
• Biodegradable flame-retardant polymers and composites
• Recyclable flame-retardant polymers and composites
• Sustainability in flame-retardant polymers and composites
• Eco-friendly flame-retardant coatings, textiles, and wood-based products
• Bio-based fire-safe materials for construction applications
• Toxicological and environmental impacts of flame retardants
• Regulations governing flame retardants

The conference seeks to spark interdisciplinary dialogue bridging science, engineering, and environmental responsibility, addressing not only how the fire safety of materials can be improved, but also how this can be achieved in a sustainable and environmentally responsible manner.

ECOFRAM 2026 will feature renowned keynote speakers, technical sessions, poster presentations, and interactive networking opportunities. Whether you’re pushing the boundaries of flame retardant chemistry, scaling up industrial applications, advancing your early-career research, or exploring life-cycle impacts, ECOFRAM 2026 offers real value, fresh insight, and future-facing dialogue.

Set in the beautiful city of Luleå, in the heart of Swedish Lapland, this conference also offers the chance to experience the natural beauty and innovative spirit that define our region.

We are excited to host this vibrant and growing community and look forward to stimulating discussions, meaningful connections, and new ideas that will help shape the future of flame retardant and sustainable materials.

Welcome to Luleå and to ECOFRAM 2026!
