Follow on Google News | " Bioplastics -Reshaping an Industry" Conference. February 1-3, 2011, Las VegasThis two-day conference on "Bioplastics -Reshaping an Industry" is targeted at decision makers of all disciplines who wish to enhance their knowledge and participation in this evolving drive to reduce dependence on oil-based materials.
Bioplastics have already reached over one million tons capacity, with 2011 growth rates conservatively projected at 15-20%. First generation plant sugar-/starch- on “renewable carbon” is now refocusing on the more durable and potentially more demanding performance applications sector of the plastics landscape. To meet this evolving challenge, the bioplastics industry must reshape to further enhance mechanical/thermal and overall performance and durability of existing bio-based products; either by the use of additives, blends and alloys or by the manufacture of new and existing building blocks (monomers) derived from non-oil-based sources. These approaches are heralding the vision of conventional plastics with known properties but no longer made from oil. Additionally new standards and regulations will be required to validate performance and claims. Industry experts at BIOPLASTICS: This two-day conference will provide an introduction to the key players driving this transformation. It is targeted at decision makers of all disciplines who wish to enhance their knowledge and participation in this evolving drive to reduce dependence on oil-based materials.
