Exposition brings biobased economy to life

The goal of the exhibition developed by Applied Plant Research PPO in partnership with fellow research institute Food & Biobased Research is to showcase to people the various applications of green raw materials. “Flax can be used to make yarn,” Michaëla van Leeuwen, scientist at PPO explains. “What many people don’t yet know is that - similar to other vegetable waste products - it can also be used to produce bioplastics.”
The touring exhibition is part of the Agro-biopolymer project, a German/Dutch collaborative venture which in turn is part of the INTERREG IVA programme between Germany and the Netherlands. (News item Wageningen UR website, 10 December 2013).
