Pagora Days 2009, what is the future of fibre based biomaterials for packaging ?
An international workshop will be organised the 2nd & 3rd of July 2009 by Grenoble INP-Pagora, the International School of Paper, Print Media and Biomaterials. For their 8th edition, these Pagora Days – created in 2003 – will deal with: « Future of fibre based biomaterials for packaging? ».
Julien Bras (March 2009)
International workshop
More information
Petrol shortage, barrel price variation, environmental breakthrough and society expectation are all arguments to find an alternative solution for fossil resources,… Explaining why scientific research on packaging with biobased materials has intensified. This new biopackaging can be based on natural fibres from wood or hemp for example and with biopolymers like starch based polymers. However, several questions still exist regarding processes and uses of new materials from renewable resources. Moreover, despite their natural advantage, innovative packaging needs to have new functions like increased shelf life or antibacterial effect. Therefore more and more research is focused on active and functional biopackaging.
To fulfil all these requirements several scientific experts from the University and the Industry will share their results in the biomaterial and packaging field during the conferences, the round table or the poster session. Several European projects like SustainPack, FlexpakRenew or SustainComp will also present their strategy and results.
