The
second annual contest organized by the Bioplastics Council of the SPI – The
Plastic Industry Trade Association will present an Award for Innovation in
Bioplastics to remarkable innovators who have managed to apply bioplastics in
unique ways. The award is distributed in order to encourage creative thinking
and further the use of bioplastics in the world.
The
current Chairman of the SPI Bioplastics Council talks about how the first
contest managed to attract a lot of forward-thinking entrants who brought with
them a lot of cutting edge ideas. The 2013 Innovation in Bioplastics Award was
presented to Avantium who developed polyethylene furanoate (PEF), which is a
superior barrier to CO2, water and oxygen. Avantium was recognised
for the many new exciting opportunities it presented in the field of packaging
for beverage manufacturers. Bottles could be made lighter and the production
process could be highly simplified.
Companies
interested in submitting an application can look for information on the SPI
Bioplastics Council website. Applicants can apply through 31st March 2014 and the winner will be
awarded at the Biopolymers Symposium in Philadelphia, PA in May 2014. The
winner will receive a speaking opportunity and free space for exhibition at the
Symposium, press coverage, recognition at future events held by the Council and
a yearlong banner ad on the Council website.
