| Biopack 08 - The best way to understand biomaterials in packaging |
|
In September 2007 Biopack 07 was arranged in Gothenburg, Sweden. This was the first Biopack conference in Sweden and the interest for the event was big. 120 attendees was informed about the possibilitys with those materials. Brandowners, packaging producers, suppliers, raw material companies, processors and recycling companies were among the attendees. The great interest encouraged the magazine nord emballage in cooperation with Scanpack 2009, the biggest packaging fair in the Nordics, to come back with Biopack 08, also in Gothenburg. The speed in the development of this market means that it makes sence to repeat the conference one year later. The date for Biopack 08 is September 17. This year the conference will be opened by Mr Harald Kaeb, chairman of European Bioplastics. The rest of the day will have presentaions from rawmaterial companies lika Mirel-Telles and Novamont, potential users or users of the materials like Tetra Pak Tenova Bioplastics and a look at the rawmaterial source of those materials, should it be for example starch from corn or should it be ethanol from sugar canes? We will also get some interesting information about life cycle analysis of the biomaterial and Mrs Maria Smith from Swedens biggest retailer ICA AB, will give their view of biomaterials in packaging. The day ends with Mr Julian Carroll from EUROPEN. He will talk about the “S” word in packaging. Finally there will be a panel discussion moderated by Mr Per-Stefan Gersbro from IPI, International Packaging Institute in Switzerland. This day is a must for everyone that have an interest in biomaterial. It will cover the topic in many ways, giving a good picture of the the materials today. All presentations will be given in English!
