Other highlights this year are the presentation of the market data update 2016 and a panel discussion exploring the Future of Waste Manegement in Europe. What is the potential of bioplastics in the New Plastics Economy? Opened by Rob Opsomer from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, this question will be debated between panellists and representatives of NGOs, including Piotr Barczak from the European Environmental Bureau and Delphine Lévi-Alvarès from Zero Waste.
We would like to thank BASF, who is this year’s official platinum sponsor of the 11th European Bioplastics Conference, for their dedication to this important industry event and to the advancement of the bioplastics industry.
If you, too, would like to participate as a delegate, get involved as a sponsor, or present your organisation in the exhibition, you can still secure your places via the online registration tool.
We look forward to welcoming you to Berlin in November!
Best regards,
Joanna Wilde
