Commercializing Bioresins 2007:
Conference Set for Atlanta, Georgia November 29-30

Portland, Maine, August 15 — Petroleum-based plastics may be on the road to fossilization: price volatility, chemical persistence, overall lifecycle costs, and health risks associated with these conventional plastics are sparking interest in renewable, plant-based plastics. With ever-increasing demand for limited raw materials such as petroleum oils, stocks of raw materials are dwindling. In conjunction with this, political instability has led to skyrocketing costs for these raw materials. It is only natural that end users have become more interested in renewable materials.

Commercializing Bioresins 2007: Emerging Markets for Biobased Plastics, IntertechPira’s third conference on biobased plastics, will provide a forum to explore growth opportunities for corn-, soy-, starch-, and cellulose-based resins in industrial applications.
