The futureof plastics

requires a consistent thinking in material cycles. How can plastic products finish their lifetime no longer as waste, but as valuable components of natural or technical cycles? Quite a lot of such materials and technologies do already exist, a lot of them are in progress, and some are just a vision. The online-event an 15 June makes the latest developments visible for innovative processors and applicators and enables the direct exchange with scientists and researchers.

    BIOPOLYMER – Processing & Moulding

    Since its premiere in 2018, the BIOPOLYMER congress brings processors and applicators, manufacturers, suppliers and researchers of biobased, biodegredable plastics together. Participants and speakers of the first two events came from Europe, Asia and overseas. Due to the corona pandemic the convention in 2021 is organized as a purely digital event. The lectures will be held in German or English and be translated simultaneously into the other language. In 2022 the congress will hopefully enter the real stage of the Halle Messe again - and broadvast live on the internet, too.
