Dr. Harald Kaeb, expert for biobased chemistry, founder of narocon InnovationConsulting and co-organiser of bio!TOY, said: “The biobased plastics industry can supply polymers and compounds that offer functionality and sustainability benefits, such as low CO2 emissions. Applications will represent what the #NewPlasticsEconomy is all about: Circular, safe products made from renewable resources. To maintain a great quality of life for our children.”
Ulrich Brobeil, Managing Director, German Toy Maker Association DVSI, added: “The toy industry is looking for more sustainable materials for the manufacture of its products and packaging. We are exploring the opportunities that novel, biobased plastics can offer. The conference will help our members and anyone in charge to learn, create visions and goals, and establish collaboration along the value chain.”
