Presenting progress in plastics

摘要

This expanding show is testament to the growth of the use and variety of plastics in packaging. A new BASF (Hall 5, stands C21/D21) online tool - the Ecovio Eco-Efflciency Compass - will make it much easier to decide when to use biodegradable plastics. Up to now, anyone who wanted to base a decision on a solid foundation had to turn to extensive individual eco-efficiency analyses or other life cycle assessments (LCA) that scrutinise the consumption of resources during the manufacture, use and disposal phases of a plastics product.
