This year\u2019s interpack, the world\u2019s largest trade show for packaging, stretching over a whole week from 4 to 10 May 2017, attracted over 170,000 visitors from 168 countries to the Messe Duesseldorf, Germany.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Besides the latest developments in world-class machinery and technology for the production and of packaging materials, three major themes dominated this year\u2019s interpack: material innovation, resource efficiency, and sustainability.<\/p>\n

More than 30 bioplastics companies, including many members of European Bioplastics, presented their products and new innovative bio-based and\/or biodegradable materials at the trade fair. Moreover, many other packaging companies that specialise in conventional packaging also offered bio-based or biodegradable options or alternatives to their packaging solutions. This clearly shows that bioplastic packaging is not a \u201cnice to have\u201d<\/p>\n

The interest by visitors in the latest developments in the field of bioplastics was very high, much higher than in previous years, with a preceptible increase in knowledge about the nature and benefits of bio-based plastic materials and applications. Compostable plastic packaging solutions, and in particular home compostable materials, were met with growing interest, due to the recent French legislation<\/a> on home compostable shopping bags. Many EUBP members underlined the increased number and high quality of new business contacts and were very satisfied with the outcomes of this year\u2019s interpack.<\/p>\n

Many visitors came to the booth of European Bioplastics (EUBP), which served as a hub for everyone interested in bioplastics, offered more information on the many benefits of bioplastic packaging, and assisted visitors in finding the right company amonst the exhibitors.<\/p>\n

Watch the interview with Constance I\u00dfbr\u00fccker<\/a>, Head of Environmental Affairs at EUBP, during interpack to hear more about the expanding market for bioplastics.<\/p>\n

On the first three mornings of the interpack, our media partner bioplastics MAGAZINE hosted the 2nd edition of bio!PAC<\/a>, an on-site conference on packaging made from bio-based materials. Over 100 participants listened to experts presenting the latest developments in bio-based materials for packaging.<\/p>\n
