Application & information

Paper is a comparatively sustainable material based on renewable feedstocks. Nevertheless, there is a need for change to successfully transform the energy-intensive paper industry into a low-carbon-dioxide bio-economy. The broad implementation of renewable carbon into processes and materials is the major key to achieve this goal.

The 2nd PTS Conference “Biobased solutions in papermaking and converting” want to enhance the scientific exchange with the industry and we invite you to take part!

Recognised speakers from industry, associations and research will provide exciting insights. Get an overview of the current programme!

In the course of avoiding plastic, the desire of users as well as end consumers for fiber-based packaging is increasing. Due to legal requirements such as the Single Use Plastics Directive of the EU as well as the German Packaging Act, paper and cardboard packaging are booming.

Learn within 3 days from our experts in the fields of Materials Testing & Analytics, Recycling & Digitization and Functional Surfaces:

• the various regulatory and technological requirements for recyclability,
• the biodegradability of fiber-based packaging,
• the food safety, eco-labeling and misleading requirements placed on packaging,
• the technological possibilities of finishing paper and board to achieve required packaging properties, such as barriers (gas, grease, moisture, migration), forming and printability
