With well over 100 attendees already registered, IntertechPira’s 5th annual Biopolymers Symposium 2010 is the industry's market leading event where new technologies, trends, developments in applications, new guidelines and waste strategies are unveiled.
The 2010 program, scheduled for October 11-13, 2010 at The Westin Tabor Center in Denver, CO, US, will provide a comprehensive overview of the biopolymers industry including separate sessions led by manufacturers, executives and brand owners.
“Recent reports from Cereplast and European Bioplastics suggest that the markets for biopolymers will continue the growth and expansion of recent years,” said senior conference producer Barbara Rojas. “With involvement from top companies and scientific leaders, the Biopolymers Symposium 2010 is the key event to get up-to-date how to capitalize on this growth as well as to stay abreast of the many moving parts affecting the industry, including policy, regulations, labeling, and product performance.”
This year’s Symposium offers coverage of the most important industry issues like the identification of non-food sources of raw material for resin production; how the market is faring in the US and Europe; and end of life management options. Attendees will have the opportunity to hear from more than fifty speakers from organizations including the European Patent Office; Natureworks; the US EPA; Intel; Johnson & Johnson; Cereplast; Method; Green Mountain Coffee Roasters; MIT; Telles; Pepsico Advanced Research- Food Packaging; The Coca-Cola Company and many others.
On Monday, October 11, attendees can also benefit from a full day of pre-conference seminars and workshop providing in-depth information sessions on 'Using Bio (Renewable) Content and Biodegradability to Design and Engineer Green Products;' 'Aren't We Green Enough Already? Green Chemistry and the Lifecycle of Plastics;' 'Bio-based Plastics and End of Life Management Option' and 'Introduction to Bioplastics.' There are additional fees to participate in the pre-conference activities.
