GRÄSSLIN as a Partner at the BIOPOLYMER Congress 2024
When the future of the plastics industry takes center stage in Halle (Saale) on June 11, GRÄSSLIN Kunststoffe will be right in the thick of it as a partner. The International Biopolymers Congress, featuring numerous experts from the global community, will provide answers to the question of how bio-based and biodegradable plastics are changing the world. As another highlight, the BIOPOLYMER Innovation Award—recognizing outstanding innovations in the field of biodegradable plastics—will be presented for the fifth time at a festive awards ceremony to conclude the congress.
