The European Forum for Industrial Biotechnology & The Biobased Economy (EFIB) will be holdings its 2011 conference in Amsterdam on October 18-20 this year. It looks like it will be a big event, with a packed schedule and a large number of companies looking to sponsor or showcase their products there.
One of the more high-profile participants this year will be L'Oreal, with their Sustainable Transformations Manager, Dr. Michel Philippe, opening up for a pre-event interview:
Q. L’Oréal decided to give special attention for green biobased products. Can you give some examples of already commercialized products?
L'Oréal launched recently new innovative ingredients originating from wood biomass such as PRO-XYLANETM and rhamnose from hemicellulose.
Q. How do you see the future?
Development of biotechnologies is crucial for the design of innovative and sustainable ingredients.
Q. I believe this is your first visit to EFIB - Which elements of EFIB 2011 are you looking forward to?
We are looking forward to cutting-edge knowledge in biotechnological processes allowing access to innovative building blocks and ingredients originating from plants.
