7 December 2009, Dallas, TX - Some of the world’s leading
companies are to discuss performance biopolymers, which reduce energy
consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, at ‘Innovation takes Root’ which is
being held from 13 to 15 April 2010 at the Four Seasons Resort & Club in
Dallas, Texas. More than 20 presentations from companies such as 3M, DuPont,
Ford Motor Company, Frito Lay, Toray, and Toyota are anticipated.
Organiser Nature Works LLC, producer of Ingeo, a biopolymer
made from non-oil renewable resources, says the event is a collaborative
biopolymers forum for the global Ingeo community. Ingeo is
made from dextrose which that is derived from field corn already
grown for many industrial and functional end-uses.
Innovation Takes Root will cover recent advancements using
Ingeo bioresin and manufactured fibres, including mechanical and thermal
properties, surface modifications, additives, and polymer blends presentations
on new consumer products, green marketing successes, and the latest in
governmental initiatives workshops by industry leaders in life cycle analysis
(LCA), and end-of-life treatments
According to Nature Works, everyone in any industry working
towards lowering energy consumed and greenhouse gases emitted by oil-based
plastics and synthetic fibres will want to attend Innovation Takes Root and
learn more about the latest developments in Ingeo, one of the most widely
applied biopolymers in the world.
“Building on the 2008
success of the world's first true technical conference in the biopolymer arena,
Innovation Takes Root 2010 will broaden to provide a comprehensive forum for
all things Ingeo including technology, applications, marketing and commercial
