21 Dec 2022 --- Following the European Bioplastics Conference (EUBC) in Berlin, Germany, earlier this month, PackagingInsights sits down with Johana Carolina Andrade Chapal, a researcher of biodegradability and compostability and member of the Spanish biotechnology research group Aimplas, to discuss her key messages to conference attendees and where scientific research in the field will be headed in 2023. Chapel highlights that as a group, Aimplas wanted, first and foremost, to convey the importance of developing new biodegradable and compostable products in the fight against plastic pollution. Bioplastics, in general, are often confused with having the property of biodegradability, leading some critics to question their efficacy.
