The coming of age for bio-based plastics |
In the first part of a look back at major developments at this year's
Interpack trade show in Dusseldorf, Germany, BeverageDaily.com examines
the challenges facing the emergence of bioplastics in consumer
packaging.
Amidst growing interest in the market for bio-based and biodegradable
packaging, a leading supplier of the materials says the industry must
address labelling and sourcing issues if it is to flourish in the
future.
Speaking at the Interpack trade show, Andy Sweetman, market development manager of Innovia
films, said that it was possible in a few years that we could expect to
see a similar trade show devoted solely to bio-based packaging as a
reflection of the potential in the market.
