Special topic bioplastics

 
Interpack "Bioplastics in Packaging" is the largest exhibition on this topic at interpack. 
Bioplastics have developed rapidly against the backdrop of current discussions about resource conservation and sustainable development. In the course of this development, the fields of application for bioplastics are also becoming ever more numerous. Today, water vapor-permeable fruit and vegetable packaging, biodegradable bin liners and even completely compostable packaging can be found on the international market. Visitors to interpack, which takes place in Düsseldorf from April 24 to 30, 2008, can find out in detail about the latest trends and current developments in the various material classes, such as improved barrier properties, heat resistance or easier processability, and the various applications as part of the special theme "Bioplastics in Packaging". International companies from the fields of polymers and granules, additives, finishers, plastics processing and packaging production - including well-known names such as BASF, DuPont Packaging and Nature Works - will be covering the topic comprehensively. All material classes are represented (synthetic material/biodegradable, material based on renewable raw materials/biodegradable, material based on renewable raw materials/non-biodegradable). The exhibition, which will take place in Hall 7a at interpack, is being organized with the support of the European Bioplastics Association. A supporting program with contributions on current topics in the industry will accompany the special show.
