The BioPlastek 2012 Forum

For the first time at any public forum, details on the performance of the new degradable film resins will be presented at the BioPlastek 2012 Forum. The event will take place from March 28-30, 2012 at the Westin Arlington Gateway Hotel in Arlington, Virginia, USA (minutes from Washington, DC). This forum will build on the great success of the inaugural BioPlastek 2011 Forum held last June in New York, which DaniMer Scientific also attended.

DaniMer will present current 3rd party certification data showing that the new DaniMer film grades meet the ASTM D-6400 standards for compostability in a commercial industrial composting facility. Additionally, the DaniMer film resins have met the more stringent EU standards for backyard composting.

NPE2012

Merchandisers, packagers, designers, processors, and converters will discover the newest polymer technologies for packaging at NPE2012, it was announced by SPI: The Plastics Industry Trade Association, which produces the triennial NPE. In many cases, visitors from the packaging industry will be able to observe commercial-scale production of film, thermoformed sheet, bottles, and containers right on the exhibit floor.

NPE2012 will take place April 1-5, 2012 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, U.S.A., after 40 years in Chicago. Since most of the 2,000 exhibiting companies include either packaging producers or web converters among their clientele, the trade show portion of NPE2012 will present these professionals with a treasury of new equipment, materials, software, and services.
