The offerings highlighting the special theme “Bioplastics in Packaging” at interpack PROCESSES AND PACKAGING, which opens its doors between 24 to 30 April 2008, will form the biggest exhibition of its kind in the world. International exhibitors active in sectors including polymers and granulates, additives, finishing, plastics processing and packaging production – among them big names such as BASF, DuPont Packaging and NatureWorks – will ensure that the topic bioplastics packaging is covered thoroughly. The showcase will feature all material classes (synthetic material/biodegradable, materials based on renewable primary products/biodegradable and materials based on renewable primary products/non-biodegradable). Against a backdrop of current debate over conserving resources and sustainable development, bioplastics have been advancing at a rapid rate in the recent past. In the wake of this development, the number of fields of application for bioplastics is also continually growing. Today already, packaging permeable by water vapour for fruit and vegetables, completely biodegradable refuse bags and fully compostable packaging can be found on the international market. Through the offerings focusing on the special topic, visitors will be able to brush up on developments in various material classes – such as enhanced barrier properties, heat resistance, easier processing as well as the various fields of application.  Compostable shopping bags consisting of plant starch can also be used for collecting organic household waste - hygienic, odourless and practical. Consumers love the added value of this dual use. Today biobags are used by many supermarkets across Europe. Photos: BASF The organisation of Bioplastics in Packaging is being supported by the association European Bioplastics. Visitors will be able to investigate the special theme in Hall 7a throughout interpack’s run from 24 to 30 April 2008. An ancillary programme including talks on current industry issues will round out the showcase.  |
