Bioplastics take center stage at Interpack

During interpack 2008, April 24-30, The European Bioplastics Association, in co-operation with the Düsseldorf Trade Fair, will present a special exhibition on biodegradable and bio-based plastics titled "Bioplastics in Packaging."

Pw 7234 Interpack2008square 4c

Forty companies will demonstrate how they produce packaging and other products from renewable resources. As early as 2005, bioplastics were a powerful drawcard for visitors and media, attracting around 10,000 trade visitors. Raw materials, products, processes, equipment, and services using bioplastics technology will be on display.

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.
