2. Conference Description

The event consisted of face-to-face seminars presented to the academic community and the interested general public by researchers who were members of the CYTED ENVABIO100 Network. ENVABIO100 is the Ibero-American network for obtaining biodegradable films of 100% natural origin for the food industry. It is made up of universities, laboratories, and research centers, as well as industries related to the plastics and food sectors (Figure 1). The Network aims to contribute to solutions that lead to the sustainable development of the manufacturing industries and their transition to the use of renewable resources. Over the course of the seminars, a key aim was to cultivate synergy and teamwork between researchers from the region, academia, and the industrial sector of the country, through round tables and visits to factories, in order to achieve the objectives of the Network.

3. Topics

The topics include food sustainability, material technology, packaging for the food industry, and biodegradable polymers.
