“Trends 2007 in the Field of European Food Packaging “

The VFV Lecture Event took place on 20 March 2007 in the Stadthalle/Municiple Hall Aschaffenburg.

On the occasion of the annual general meeting of the research association "Verein zur Förderung der Forschung und Ausbildung für Faserstoff- und Verpackungschemie e.V. (VFV)", a lecture event will take place for the 15th time concerning topical issues in the field of food packaging.

We were once again able to win over many competent speakers from different sectors of the industry and the EC administration. Besides the principal topic "Contact with foodstuffs", the new legal provisions and legislative projects are presented.

Others focus points are food packaging in university research and the new European regulations for plasticisers.

The conference language was German, however, the presentations were translated simultaneously into English.
