This is the first conference in the UK to address issues associated with the use of bioplastics as they enter the mainstream of the plastics industry.This one day meeting will focus on the industrial utilisation of biorenewable polymers. This will allow key business people from the plastics and packaging industry, and scientists involved in bioplastics research and applications development, to gain an overview of bioplastic processing and properties, focusing on commercially available bioplastics such as Cellulosics, Poly Lactic Acid (PLA) and Thermoplastic Starch Polymer (TSP).
