Which technology are you promoting during IPACK IMA?

During IPACK IMA, the ADBioplastics team has come to promote our additive, ADBio PLA+, and our bioplastic, PLA-Premium. PLA-Premium is composed by our own additive (ADBio PLA+) which improves the mechanical properties and the processability of virgin PLA, process patented under BlockPLA technology.

With them, companies can manufacture more environmentally friendly packaging since our products are biobased and 100% compostable, certified by TUV Austria as compostable material under industrial conditions (INDUSTRIAL OK Compost).

Which expectations do you have about the exhibition?

Our main expectation is that the packaging market becomes aware of the existence of alternatives to conventional plastics, which take between 150 and 1,000 years to degrade.

Today there is a lot of R&D innovation in terms of packaging and we must be aware of the importance of adapting to the needs of the market and the planet: products that are more respectful of the environment.

With ADBio PLA+ and PLA-Premium this is possible, and we want to spread the potential they have in the sector.

Which perspectives do you see during 2022?

Our perspective for 2022 is to expand ADBioplastics internationally, especially in LATAM, Asia and the US. All of theme interesting markets for us where our additives and bioplastics create a lot of curiosity; in addition, we want to close 2022 with a larger network of potential contacts throughout Europe.

Likewise, we hope to continue growing in internal talent with new additions to our team.
