2 nd PLA World C o n g r e s s 15 + 16 MAY 2012 * Munich * Germany PLA is one of the bioplastics with the largtest market significance. The versatile bioplastics raw material is made almost completely from renewable resources. It is being used for packaging applications, for fibres in woven and non-woven applications. Even the automotive industry and consumer electronics are already applying PLA. Blending PLA with other bioplastics or other blendpartners as well as mixing it with natural fibres such as flax, hemp or kenaf broadens the range of applications even more. That‘s why bioplastics MAGAZINE is now organising the 2nd PLA World Congress. Experts from all involved fields will share their knowledge and contribute to a comprehensive overview of today‘s opportunities and challenges and discuss the possibilities, limitations and future prospects of PLA for all kind of applications. The 2 full-day-conference will be held on the 15th and 16th of May 2012 in the Holiday Inn Munich City Centre Munich, Germany. The 2nd PLA World Congress is the must-attend conference for everyone interested in PLA, its benefits, and challenges.
