In his role as head of the workgroup "Materials Science" at the Society for Biotechnological Research in Braunschweig from 1988-1991, Prof. Widdecke contributed significantly to the emergence of the DIN standard "Plastics - Evaluation of Compostability". Following this, Prof. Widdecke held the C4-professorship "Technical Chemistry" until 1993.

Prof. Widdecke finished his doctorate on catalyst development in 1978. From 1978-1981 he worked as a research assistant until he accepted a DAAD scholarship at the University of Massachusetts (USA) in 1981. In the period from 1982 to 1987 he chaired the workgroup "Reactive Polymers" at TU Braunschweig. This was followed by a DFG research stay at the Korean Advanced Institute of Science Technology (KAIST) in Seoul and at the Institute of Polymer Technology of the University of Tianjin (China).

The industry portal biokunststoffe.de is a project by Franz-Patat-Zentrum. This comprehensive portal provides information about the benefits and possibilities of the use of bioplastics industry since 2005, providing a source of skilled technical know-how as well as a professional platform that serves as showcase for companies, their products and services.

In addition to background information and current news, biokunststoffe.de has focused mainly on the field of technical properties of bioplastics. As technical experts with over 25 years of experience in the field of bioplastics, we also wish to provide you on this portal with an overview of the consulting portfolio offered by us and inform you about our research and development services.
