readers<br />
It’s spring again, the bioplastics calendar of events is filling fast, and we have a<br />
busy time ahead. First up: our inaugural bio!TOY conference, held in the TOY-CITY of<br />
Nuremberg, Germany and focused on the use of biobased plastics in toys and leisure<br />
applications has just concluded. All were agreed that it was a very good meeting.<br />
Read our comprehensive report in the next issue.<br />
The next big event is the annual Chinaplas trade fair, which this year is being<br />
held in Guangzhou. Our show preview, including a detachable Show Guide with<br />
floorplan, can be found on pp. 30-31.<br />
As soon as we return from China, it’s time for the 3 rd edition of the bio!PAC<br />
conference on biobased packaging, again in Düsseldorf, Germany, which we<br />
are organizing in cooperation with Caroli Buitenhuis (see cover photo) of Green<br />
Serendipity. Have a look at the programme on page 8 – and we encourage you<br />
to register now, to reserve your seat.<br />
It goes almost without saying that the really big event this year takes place<br />
in Düsseldorf in October: the triennial K Show, where for the fourth time we’ll<br />
be hosting our Bioplastics Business Breakfast. The breakfast meeting was<br />
extended by a fourth day to cover PHA as a highlight topic. The call for papers<br />
is open. We are looking forward to your contributions.<br />
It’s also not too early to submit proposals for the <strong>2019</strong> edition of the<br />
Global Bioplastics Award. If you have a product or service that deserves to<br />
be recognized with this award or perhaps you know of someone who does,<br />
please let us know. We’ll announce the winner at the 14 th European Bioplastics<br />
Conference on the 3 rd of December in Berlin, Germany.<br />
Getting back to this issue of bioplastics MAGAZINE, the highlight topics include<br />
Thermoforming / Rigid Packaging and Bioplastics in Building & Construction. This<br />
is rounded off, as usual, by some of the most recent news items on materials and<br />
applications to keep you abreast of the latest innovations and ongoing advances in<br />
the world of bioplastics.<br />
I look forward to seeing you at one of the many events this year. Until then, please<br />
enjoy reading this latest issue of bioplastics MAGAZINE.<br />
