Innovation Takes Root – The Second Decade emphasizes the Ingeo journey since world scale production was achieved in 2005 and provides a unique perspective on what is in store for 2016, the company reports.

The forum will illustrate the latest developments in the market based on new product introductions and developments in applications, processing, and converting, amidst a broader context on what is happening around the world from a policy, legislative, and societal perspective.

Presentations and exhibition

A key feature of the forum will be presentations on complementary technology in fibres, packaging, and durable products that have led to the development of innovative, high performance products and systems that do not compromise the environmental benefits of Ingeo.

Parallel tracks highlighting the use of Ingeo in graphics and printing systems, personal care, sustainable packaging, and compostable food serviceware are planned for the main programme session. The daily programme in 2016 will feature breakout sessions, networking events, and an exhibition of products and services from supply chain partners.

The 2014 forum featured speakers from such organizations as Danone, IBM, Kimberly-Clark, Kodak, PepsiCo, Stratasys, Unilever, and the Green Sports Alliance. The event hosted more than 50 speakers and panelists. That year's forum drew more than 300 attendees from 25 countries, and more than 200 companies were represented.
