Our plastics industry is still creating new materials which find applications in new and existing technologies. This seminar will demonstrate that the field of innovation is extremely wide.
The first presentation will be by Sudhir Kulkarni of BASF Colors and Effects, Singapore on “Smarter and Purer Coloring Solutions for a more Sustainable Plastics Industry”. This will be followed by a presentation by Nuno Rocha Batalha of the University of Queensland on “Chemical Strategies for the Recycling of Plastics Materials”.
After the break we will hear from Paul O’Brien and Mayda Diaz of Bambacore about “New Organic Plastic Composites made to Degrade and Spectadur and Biodur Grades which are Manufactured to Endure”.
The presentations will be followed by a networking session with finger food and drinks.
This seminar is sponsored by IMCD Australia.
