Bioplastics was a major topic at the NPE2009 (National Plastics Exhibit), which took place June 22-26 at the McCormick Place in Chicago. Among the hundreds of exhibitors, the increasing awareness and availability of bioplastics was evident. Biodegradable and bio-related materials were being offered by such companies as ENSO Bottles (biodegradable PET) and PolyOne (lead and phthalate-free). Plastics materials containing soy or corn were on display by Merquinsa, Mirel, Nature Works, PSM Bioplastics to name a few. Dow Chemical and Dupont sponsored an “Emerging Technologies Pavilion” which focused on sustainability, bioplastics, energy alternatives and nanocomposites.BioProduct Blog
