SPI Bioplastics Division Honors Eastman Kodak with 2015 Innovation at NPE2015
ORLANDO, FL — The SPI Bioplastics Division named Eastman Kodak the winner of the 2015 Innovation in Bioplastics Award for its creation of a bio-toner, designed for the electro-photographic printing industry that contains greater than 90 percent biobased and biodegradable materials. The announcement was made at NPE2015: The International Plastics Showcase, hosted at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Fla.
“The term ‘bioplastics’ has quickly grown to become synonymous with innovation, and Eastman Kodak’s creation of a bio-toner that is formulated with biobased and biodegradable materials continues that tradition,” said SPI President and CEO William R. Carteaux. “SPI congratulates Eastman Kodak for winning the 2015 Innovation in Bioplastics Award and thanks all of this year’s entrants for their continuing pursuit of new applications for biobased and biodegradable materials and for supporting the expansion of choices that plastics manufacturers have when it comes to which materials they use in their products.”
