Title: Starting at the Source - Sustainability of Bioplastic Feedstocks
Date: Monday, July 19, 2010
Time: 12:00pm – 1:30pm CDT; 1:00pm – 2:30pm EST

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

This free webinar is hosted by the Sustainable Biomaterials Collaborative (SBC) and will be facilitated by Jim Kleinschmit, Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy (IATP) and SBC Steering Committee member.

Speakers include:

• Representative from U.S. Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)
• Lee B. Kane, EcoCzar/Forager, Whole Foods Market, North Atlantic Region
• David Levine, Green Harvest Technologies
