Coloured loose fill –<br />
fun for young and old<br />
Coloured loose fill packaging chips have been available<br />
for quite a while already. Just before the<br />
Christmas period German discounter Aldi sold a<br />
product under the brand name Bioplay. The box, marked<br />
‘Automobilset’, showed pictures of cars, traffic lights etc.<br />
The coloured loose fill chips in the box were made from<br />
pure starch rather than the usual polystyrene foam and<br />
were supplied to Aldi by German Pantos Produkt & Vertriebsgesellschaft.<br />
safe, being made of starch and coloured with food dyes.<br />
Even Tiziano Mori, cover-hero of this issue of bioplastics<br />
MAGAZINE and bar-tender at the European Bioplastics<br />
booth, loved the coloured chips. “I was amazed at all the<br />
bioplastics products I saw during my job at interpack. But<br />
these coloured chips were the biggest fun for me” he said.<br />
During interpack 2008 (Düsseldorf, Germany, April 2008)<br />
two large groups of kindergarten kids visited the special<br />
show ‘bioplastics in packaging’. Sponsored by Novamont,<br />
the children were given loads of coloured loose fill chips<br />
to play with, and discovered this as a kind of toy - totally<br />
