We helped with the launch of the Polymer CRC on Tuesday 26 March 2013.
High res images are available here.
A general press release and background information on the CRC is here.
A press release highlighting the revegetation of native trees using plastic is here.

Australia’s $9 billion polymers industry will be boosted by a national cooperative research initiative launched today.
The launch will feature a novel degradable plastic film that Greening Australia and the Birchip Cropping Group have shown can dramatically improve the re-establishment of native woodlands. [continue reading…]
A novel degradable plastic could dramatically improve the efficiency of native tree revegetation from seed in marginal low rainfall areas, which typically give low germination and establishment.
The process is being developed by Greening Australia and Australian manufacturer Integrated Packaging through the CRC for Polymers. [continue reading…]
