There are growing concerns about the depletion of non-renewable raw materials and increasing consumer pressure for more environmentally friendly consumerism. Those with a hand in industrial and packaging applications need to be seen to be green and biopolymers could be the answer. Biopolymers Symposium 2008 will encapsulate the entire life cycle of biopolymers in industrial and packaging applications. Through real life case studies and revealing presentations from key industry leaders; you’ll appreciate the bigger picture, from production through to the waste stream. This valuable conference will provide you with the tools to evaluate how to capitalize on the future market in biopolymers and make it work for your business.
Developing effective, commercially viable biopolymers is one of the greatest challenges facing the industrial and packaging industries today. As technology and material developments progress, more trials and implementations have been made, and there are far more practical questions being raised, such as; what is the true environmental impact in the long term? At this year’s Biopolymers Symposium you’ll get the answers to these questions and more, as we go beyond the hype of presenting a mass of new materials and applications, and show case studies and real world examples.
