July 19 Webinar a Success

Thank you to the nearly 100 individuals who participated in the webinar "Starting at the Source: Sustainability of Bioplastic Feedstocks" on July 19, 2010!

All bioplastics are made from renewable materials, but all of these feedstocks are not equal from a sustainability perspective. This webinar explored the sustainability concerns of current and proposed bioplastic feedstocks, as well as offered some examples of sustainable agriculture and forestry market mechanisms that can and are being utilized by companies in the pursuit of more sustainable bioplastics.
