Proceedings of The 7th World Conference on Biodegradable Polymers
& Plastics organized by the European Degradable Polymer Society
in conjunction with the Bioenvironmental Polymer Society and the
Biodegradale Plastics Society, under the auspices of ICS-UNIDO
(Italy) and INSTM Consortium (Italy) and under the patronage of
IUPAC - International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (USA) and
Ministero dell'Ambiente e della Tutela del Territorio (Italy), held
in Tirrenia (Pisa), Italy, on June 4-8, 2002.
Synthetic and semi-synthetic polymeric materials were originally
developed for their durability and resistance to all forms of
degradation including biodegradation. Such materials are currently
widely accepted because of their ease of processability and
amenability to provide a large variety of cost effective items that
help to enhance the comfort and quality of life in the modern
industrial society. However, this widespread utilization of
plastics has contributed to a serious plastic waste burden, and the
expectation for the 21st century is for an increased demand for
polymeric material.
This volume focuses on a more rational utilization of resources in
the fabrication, consumption and disposal of plastic items,
specifically:
-Environmentally Degradable Polymeric Materials (EDPs);
-Water-soluble/Swellable Biodegradable Polymers;
-EDPs from Renewable Resources;
-Biopolymers;
-Bioresorbable Materials for Biomedical Applications;
-Biorelated Polymers;
-Standards and Regulations on EDPs.
