Description

On 19.09.2019 we are planning an International Bioplastics Day to exchange experiences and to initiate co-operation with various European clusters and would like to invite you to participate. You can already register for this international and free event HERE "Short" to the background: The INNONET® Kunststoff as a cluster initiative of the Technology Center Horb GmbH & Co. KG has existed for over ten years. The 120 members are SMEs, as well as large companies, e.g. fischerwerke, Arburg, Meusburger and 12 scientific institutes, mainly in southern Germany and neighbouring countries, regularly exchange ideas on the various formats of our cluster initiative. Since the end of 2016, the Plastics InnoCentre (PLIC) in Horb am Neckar has about 300 m² of exhibition space with various presentation options (showcases, showcases, open exhibitors, TV screens, etc.) and a presentation room for up to 100 event participants. We also have a special room for bio-based or biodegradable plastics. Since 2018, INNONET Kunststoff has also been actively involved in the EU Interreg project AlpLinkBioEco for the networking of actors in biomass production, processing and marketing. We want to expand the topic of "bio-based" in terms of content and let our previous activities, in which more than 100 interested companies and institutions have already participated, lead to another major event in September 2019. The event will take place in our premises in PLIC in Horb am Neckar, supported by an accompanying exhibition of products or services from this sector. We also get political tailwind from the state government. In addition to various successful projects, we initiated a series of events for bio-based materials in 2016: Kickoff and roadmap: over 30 participants 2017: Bioplastics: Greenwashing or economic alternative, over 60 participants 2018: Shaping the future sustainably: focus on recyclates, bio-based and biodegradable plastic products, almost 90 participants 2019: 19.09.: Bioplastics International Innovation Day "Biopolymers in Broad Use - Potentials, Opportunities, Challenges", expected to be 100 participants from the key companies and clusters.
