Experts from the University of Warwick, BASF and the European trade organisation focused on sustainability in plastic use, Plastic Europe. A panel discussion and Q&A session will explore how a better understanding and more rigorous application of LCA is needed to ensure new chemicals and new chemistry are genuinely fit for the future.
The speakers are:
Dr Stuart Coles 鈥� University of Warwick 鈥� Principles of LCA applied to the commercialisation of plastic recycling.
Tony Heslop 鈥� European Head of Sustainability at BASF 鈥� an industry perspective
Dr Geoff Mackey - Country Head Plastics Europe - Policy and regulatory review
The speakers will be joined in a panel discussion by Dr Mike Muskett 鈥� Tranby Technology 鈥� Expert in chemical process design, economics and operations.
The meeting will be useful to those who to understand LCA, to those developing new chemistries and to those non-experts who want to make their own assessments of whether the marketing claims are truly sustainable or just greenwashing.
There will be a small charge for this event to offset partially the cost of the meeting鈥檚 refreshments.
