Luís Cabedo Mas

Innovation in materials is key to advancing toward a more sustainable model in the plastics sector.

This session will address the challenges and opportunities of biodegradable and next-generation materials from a dual perspective: academic and industrial. Luis Cabedo, Professor of Materials Science at Universitat Jaume I, will analyze the real role of biodegradable plastics in relation to pollution, offering a critical, research-based perspective. Meanwhile, Lorenzo Lizcano (Director of Diversification and New Materials at Viscofan) will present industrial developments in composite materials and selective permeability films for food and healthcare applications.

A session that will contrast science and market perspectives to better understand the present and future of sustainable materials.
