Free webinar organised by MyPack in collaboration with GLOPACK and YPACK
Wednesday 28th October 2020, from 10:00 to 12:00 am CET
Plastic pollution has reached enormous scales in the world and is raising concerns among the general public. As a result, modern science is directing its efforts towards finding more sustainable solutions. Bioplastics, as one of the current trends, are getting more attention. There are several areas, in which the production of bioplastics is applied, and packaging if one of the most significant market segments. This webinar will focus on the application of bioplastics for packaging solutions, particularly in the food sector.
Speakers:
Tetiana Pavlenko: Researcher associate in the University of Hohenheim, dealing with precision agriculture, sustainable practices, food systems, bioplastics, and innovative packaging technologies.
Denise Gider: Project manager at ECOZEPT and responsible for projects on the circular economy.
Zsófia Kertész: Development engineer at Campden BRI Hungary.
Jose Maria (Chema) LAGARON: Group Leader and Founder of the group Novel Materials and Nanotechnology at IATA-CSIC.
