bio!PAC 2023

International online conference on Bioplastics & Packaging

Bioplastics packaging

• can be recyclable, biodegradable and/or compostable
• can be made from biobased, biowaste or renewable resources
• can offer innovative features and beneficial new barrier properties
• can help to prevent accumulation of microplastics in our environment
• helps to reduce the depletion of finite fossil resources and CO₂ emissions

Challenges
Most plastic packaging is made of fossil-based resources, are hardly recycled and not biodegradable. In addition these plastics can contribute to long-term accumulation of microplastics.

Innovative bioplastics can be a sustainable alternative. They present new features and can have multiple end-of-life options: recyclable and/or biodegradable.

At the bio!PAC the focus will be on circular packaging based on biobased feedstock that leads to genuine environmental benefits. Specific attention will also be paid to the criteria for these applications.

bio!PAC 2023

That‘s why bioplastics MAGAZINE (in cooperation with Green Serendipity) is now organizing this 5th edition of the bio!PAC – conference on bioplastics & packaging.

The conference will be held as a breakfast conference during interpack at the Düsseldorf fairgrounds.

Experts from all areas of bioplastics & packaging will present their latest developments or research. The conference will also cover discussions like end-of-life options, consumer behavior issues, availability of agricultural land for material use versus food and feed etc.

The conference will be a hybrid event that will be recorded and made available for convenient watching (video-on-demand) for at least a month after the event. All presentations will be made available (pdf) as well.

Networking will be possible with the WHOVA App and platform (details will follow).
