Sustainable Packaging With Biocomposites
8th Biocomposites Conference Cologne
14–15 November 2019, Maternushaus, Cologne, Germany
The food industry in particular, but also other industries, are looking for more sustainable packaging solutions that do not compromise the quality of the packaging. Here, biocomposites can offer completely new solutions that can also be convincing in terms of feel and appearance. Leading companies from Finland, Norway, and Germany will present their latest developments. The packaging session will be followed by the sustainability session. The sustainability of biocomposites and their role in the circular economy will be demonstrated using several examples from the automotive, construction and toys sectors.
