03 Four Highlights of the Forum
▎Integrating the Full "Cabin-to-Airport" Chain
Breaking the boundaries of single-point discussions, the forum centers on real-world business scenarios such as airline catering, cabin services, airport ground handling, and the catering supply chain, connecting the complete chain from materials to applications.
▎Focusing on Six Key Topics
Paper-based tableware · New materials for bio-manufacturing · PHA water-based barrier technology · Food-contact safety · International compliance (PPWR / EUDR / SUPD / EPR / PFAS / FDA / GB) · Source plastic and carbon reduction, end-of-life recycling, and optional compostable degradation.
▎Launch of BIOTEN PHA Industry Chain Collaborative Cooperation
The collaborative cooperation for BIOTEN PHA paper-based water-based barrier coating industry chain in specific application scenarios was officially launched on-site. Initiated by DBC, BASF, Bluepha, and industry chain partners, this initiative aims to drive bio-based water-based materials from technical validation to scaled scenario implementation.
▎Discussing the Implementation of Substitution Standards with China Southern Airlines
China Southern Airlines Company Limited will present and provide key interpretations of the "Substitution Standards for Single-Use Non-Degradable Plastic Products on Domestic Departing Passenger Flights."
