Bioplastics Conference Sets Record for Attendees The industry conference on bioplastics took place for the fourth time in Berlin on the 10th and 11th of November. Despite the difficult financial situation the event set a new visitor record. 380 visitors and 27 exhibitors attended the conference hosted by the European Bioplastics Association. Experts still expect continued growth in the field of compostable and biobased materials. Full Story

Bayer MaterialScience Launch Energy-Efficient Buildings Concept

Photosynthesis May be the Way to Produce Clean, Sustainable Hydrogen In the quest to make hydrogen as a clean alternative fuel source, researchers have been stymied about how to create usable hydrogen that is clean and sustainable without relying on an intensive, high-energy process that outweighs the benefits of not using petroleum to power vehicles.

BASF Offers a New Biodegradable Plastic BASF is now offering a new biodegradable plastic. It goes by the name Ecovio® FS and it has joined the existing Ecovio product line. BASF has optimized this new plastic for two specific applications: for coating paper and for manufactur­ing so-called shrink films, which serve to easily wrap packaged goods Full Story

OSRAM LEDs Used in Micro Projectors that can be Attached to Mobile Phones The diversified technology company 3M is including OSRAM Opto Semiconductors’ LEDs in its new micro projectors, which can be connected to mobile phones and cameras. The small, bright, energy-saving diodes are the key to developing micro projectors, which could not be implemented with other light sources. Full Story

New Technique for Manufacturing Solar Cells Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have refined a technique to manufacture solar cells by creating tubes of semiconducting material and then "growing" polymers directly inside them. The method has the potential to be significantly cheaper than the process used to make today's commercial solar cells. Full Story
