What the materials cover

This was the first conference dedicated to films made from biodegradable and/or renewable raw materials. It gave technically oriented specialists a forum to discuss the production, finishing and use of such packaging films for organic products as well as conventional foods and technical non-food goods. The presentation materials address whether biodegradability is necessary, feasible and sensible for packaging films, how products, demand, capacities and prices are developing, which film systems exist and how they are processed. They also cover newly achievable properties and the legal framework. The materials are useful for developers and processors of packaging films who want to follow the current state of this topic.
