Media Coverage 2012

Matt Naitove"The excitement in the air of the recent Innovation Takes Root conference was a sense of arrival...They presented a growing volume and variety of applications from disposable packaging to durable goods as confirmation that bioplastics are not a mere fad, a “green” public relations stunt, or a feel-good eco-luxury, but legitimate tools of industry."
- Matthew H. Naitove, Plastics Technology

Dean Bellefleur"For the duration of the two day conference, a succession of validating and thought provoking presentations were interspersed with a triple stream of expert panel discussions prompting debate on technologies, process chemistry and marketing initiatives."
- Dean Bellefleur, Food & Beverage Packaging
