PFAS Workshop 2024

Event Description

Join us for a workshop designed to dissect the effects of proposed legislation that may ultimately result in the ban of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and their derivative materials in the polymer industry. PFAS, a diverse group of chemicals renowned for their durable properties, pose significant environmental and health concerns due to their persistence, mobility, and bioaccumulation tendencies. Against this backdrop, legislative changes are poised to reshape industry practices across sectors ranging from chemicals to packaging.

Led by industry experts, this workshop provides a unique platform to explore various aspects of PFAS, from their environmental impact to supply chain risks caused by restricted use or an eventual ban. Dive into discussions surrounding regulatory pressures, evolving business strategies, and the quest for PFAS-free alternatives. Expect insightful presentations, engaging discussions and networking opportunities with key stakeholders.

Taking place the day before the AMI Plastics World Expos Europe, this workshop aims to provide an overview of the evolving discourse on PFAS, giving attendees an invaluable insight to help navigate the shifting regulatory terrain and seize emerging opportunities. Join us as we discuss the complexities of a potential PFAS ban and chart a course towards sustainable alternatives for affected applications.
