The conference was a great success as it brought together a cross-section of 77 different organisations from across almost 20 countries represented to experience a wide-ranging programme, discuss the latest and future developments and challenges within the biopolymer industry. This conference was additionally designed to promote and communicate the use of bioplastics and biobased chemicals.
