Exhibition to be held on bioplastics
Biodegradable and bio-based plastics represent one of the most outstanding innovations for sustainable development. The European Bioplastics Association, in co-operation with the Duesseldorf Trade Fair, will be presenting a special exhibition “Bioplastics in Packaging” on this subject.From 24th to 30th April, 40 well-known companies will be demonstrating how they
produce packaging, and also clothing, ski boots and many more products from
renewable resources. The special exhibition will take place in Hall 7a at interpack
2008, the world’s leading trade fair for packaging technology, to be held in
Duesseldorf. As early as 2005, bioplastics were a powerful drawcard for visitors and
media, attracting around 10,000 trade visitors. Raw materials, semi-finished
products, products, processes, equipment and services using bioplastics
technology will be on display.
Climate protection and resource management present enormous challenges but
also provide fertile ground on which innovations which give high priority to
sustainable behaviour will have a chance to flourish. Bioplastics and compostable
packaging represent the plastics industry’s hope for the future. Their market has
been developing with high growth rates for many years. Product range is constantly
expanding and performance improving. The industry is anticipating continued
strong growth, and corresponding expansion of capacity has been announced by
many companies.
