Cereplast, Inc. (NASDAQ: CERP), a leading manufacturer of proprietary bio-based, compostable and sustainable plastics, announced today that it will participate as an exhibitor at the fifth annual European Bioplastics Conference to be held on December 1 and 2, 2010 at the Hilton Hotel in Düsseldorf, Germany.

The industry-leading conference is hosted by European Bioplastics, an organization representing industrial manufacturers, processors and users of bioplastics and biodegradable polymers (BDP), and their derivative products. Over 380 participants from 27 different countries, including industry leaders and growth companies, will discuss topics ranging from technological innovation, new product innovation, evaluations of bioplastic consumer goods and recovery and recycling systems.

"We are proud to be a part of the fifth annual European Bioplastics Conference as we place a high priority on working collectively with the industry to help drive innovation and support growth in the bioplastics market," said Frederic Scheer, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Cereplast, Inc." Europe is an important market for bioplastics right now as laws banning the use of petroleum-based plastics across parts of the continent continue to gain momentum. These legislative efforts are steps toward helping protect and preserve the environment. We've seen a substantial surge in demand in Europe as a result of this legislation."

Cereplast will serve refreshments during their private event to be held in the Aristoteles room at the Hilton Hotel throughout the entire event. For more information, please visit the Cereplast booth located next to the Hilton Düsseldorf Conference Hall at booth #1.
