Meet the leading companies of the bio-based industry!

Bio-based building blocks, polymers and composites - Bio-based 3D printing - Bioplastics and environment

The newest and most innovative developments in the industry will be addressed during the second day of the International Conference on  Bio-based Materials (14 April 2015, Cologne, Germany). Bio-based plastics and building blocks are key drivers of innovative and sustainable developments of the economy and industry as a whole, and growing numbers of companies are entering the field. The afternoon sessions will have a focus on bio-based 3D printing as well as on microplastics in the environment, along with their sources, impacts and current feasible solutions.

Already 120 participants registered (250 expected) and 20 exhibition booths booked! FREE exhibition booth for participants: book a 3-day entrance ticket and contact ina.hellge@nova-institut.de.
