Register now! Automotive 6 th PLA World Congress 19 + 20 MAY 2020 MUNICH › GERMANY PLA is a versatile bioplastics raw material from renewable resources. It is being used for films and rigid packaging, for fibres in woven and non-woven applications. Automotive, consumer electronics and other industries are thoroughly investigating and even already applying PLA. New methods of polymerizing, compounding or blending of PLA have broadened the range of properties and thus the range of possible applications. That‘s why bioplastics MAGAZINE is now organizing the 6 th PLA World Congress on: 19-20 May 2020 in Munich / Germany 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. Like the five previous congresses the 6 th PLA World Congress will also offer excellent networking opportunities for all delegates and speakers as well as exhibitors of the table-top exhibition. www.pla-world-congress.com organized by Media Partner Gold Sponsor: Supported by: 1 st Media Partner bioplastics MAGAZINE [06/19] Vol. 14 9
