Topic: “Bioplastics: Enhancing a Green Image”
This talk will cover how a broad range of industries - including pharmaceuticals, personal care, consumer goods, biomedical devices, automotive – will benefit from eco-friendly packaging and structural materials. We need expert answers to fully leverage advancement through technology:
- What are the challenges and opportunities in bioplastics?
- Are bioplastics a viable and reliable option?
- What biomaterials are suitable for green branding?
This presentation will discuss enhancing brands through novel "green" technologies in bioplastics- biodegradable materials and will include insights on what we might expect in the future.
