Chemical Safety in Plastics: PFAS and Beyond

The 'Chemical Safety in Plastics: PFAS and Beyond' conference is a pivotal event aimed at professionals in the plastics industry, focusing on advancing chemical safety, particularly concerning PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) and other substances of concern. The conference will delve into the evolving global expectations regarding chemical use, which are increasingly subject to regulation, thereby influencing material choices, product design, and strategies for substitution. This event emphasizes practical solutions, including substitution technologies that align with regulatory requirements while maintaining product performance and competitiveness.Designed for experts in regulatory affairs, research and development, sustainability, legal issues, business development, and academia, the conference offers attendees the opportunity to engage with industry leaders, policy experts, researchers, and technical specialists who are shaping the future of chemical safety in the plastics sector. Participants will benefit from discussions surrounding legal, liability, and compliance considerations, as well as testing, detection, traceability, and supply chain transparency related to chemical safety. Additionally, the event will include sessions on transition planning, system redesign, and performance validation. The conference runs concurrently with the Microplastics Forum, providing attendees with access to a broader educational program.SPE (Society of Plastics Engineers), which organizes this educational initiative, aims to unite plastics professionals globally, enhancing their skills through networking, events, and knowledge sharing. The organization represents over 84 countries and 85,600 stakeholders, supporting individuals from all backgrounds within the plastics industry. Whether attendees are scientists, engineers, technical personnel, or senior executives, SPE is committed to serving their needs and advancing the industry as a whole. It is important to note that all attendees are granting SPE permission to use photographs and audio/video recordings taken during the event for marketing and educational purposes. The conference upholds strict guidelines to ensure compliance with anti-trust laws, fostering a fair and open environment for all participants.
