Bioplastics and Green Composites Conference 2010
March 30, 2010
Should bioproducts manufacturers receive public subsidies to spur more "green" consumption? Should Canada follow other countries' lead and adopt specific targets for use of renewable resources?
Policies and products will be on the agenda during this year's "Bioplastics and Green Composites 2010" workshop to be held in Guelph March 31-April 1.
The gathering will draw about 100 participants from industry, government and academia to discuss the growing bio-economy in Canada and worldwide.
Making bio-based plastics from plants will reduce dependency on petroleum-based goods and help reduce Canada's carbon footprint, said conference chair Amar Mohanty, plant agriculture professor at the University of Guelph.
