MEDIA HIGHLIGHTS FROM 2010

How to boost bioplastics
October 2010
"[Innovation Takes Root's] strong focus on additives and blending technologies for improving the performance of bioplastics attracted a large global audience. This reflects both the growing interest in this subject and the critical role that compounders are playing in the development of the market."
- Lilli Sherman, Compounding World


Innovation Takes Root 2010 
April 30, 2010 
"This conference aced expectations on all counts. Three days of meeting the experts, handling the goods, exposure to passionate presenters and what we all attend for, the networking...There’s a great deal of talk/fried air in the media regarding green issues, which can be rather disorienting if nothing materialises. Let me assure you that at Innovation Takes Root 2010, the results spoke for themselves."
- Dean Bellefleur, foodbev.com


Innovation Takes Root, USA - Conference review 
April 26, 2010 
"I’ve had my fill of thinly veiled commercial pitches that dodge hard questions, fail to present data, or come across more as campaign speeches instead of educational presentations. No worries here."
- Michael Finnegan, packwebasia.com


Corporate Sustainability Responsibility - How good is good enough? 
April 28, 2010 
"[Joel] Makower challenged companies to think hard about how to improve profitability and prosper in a world where energy, climate change, water, raw materials, and toxic pollution become fundamental constraints on business at a level much different from today."
- Michael Finnegan, packwebasia.com


Marketing Claims for Bioplastics 
April 30, 2010
"Martha Marrapese - a partner with Keller and Heckman LLP in Washington DC - provided some beneficial guidance to participants at the Innovation Takes Root 2010 conference...about “what works and what doesn’t” when it comes time to decide on any environmental claim for a bioplastics product."
- Michael Finnegan, packwebasia.com
