In contrast to conventional exfoliating pads, which use fine polyester grains as exfoliating material, this effectively prevents microplastic particles from being released into the environment. In this way, the product contributes to the reduction of microplastics in the environment and is an example of how CMC&#8217;s products can also play a part in offering forward-looking solutions to the problems of our time.  <\/p>\n<p>In addition to exciting specialist presentations and innovative developments, this international event focused above all on personal exchange &#8211; a real highlight for all participants.<br \/>\nThe program was rounded off by an excursion to the Fraunhofer PAZ in Schkopau with exciting insights into current research.<br \/>\nWe are delighted to receive this award and would like to thank the organizers for an all-round successful event.<\/p>\n<p>Further information:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/biopolymer-award.polykum.de\/\">Biopolymer Award: Biopolymer Award<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From the 20. &#8211; From May 21 to 21, 2025, CMC was once again represented as an exhibitor at PLMA (Private Label Manufacturers Association), the largest international trade fair platform for the private label industry.
