Webinar – Wed. 7th July 15h – 16h30 CEST
What does product sustainability mean for tomorrow’s fire safety?
Registration (free): Eventbrite link
With the Green Deal, the European Commission is developing the Circular Economy Action Plan, the Sustainable Chemical Strategy, the Sustainable Products Initiative (SPI) and the Zero Pollution Action Plan … which will have far-reaching implications for the product value chain, including defining “Essential Use” for chemicals and materials.
Fire safety is demanded in many applications where flammable materials such as plastics, composites, fibres or wood are increasingly used. With the European Commission’s goal of having all products Safe and Sustainable by Design, this webinar will address ask:
- Should fire safety be an inherent part of safe and sustainable materials and products?
- Can flame-retardant materials be “Safe and Sustainable by Design” ?
Who should take part?
Sustainability managers for the automotive industry, electronics, materials suppliers and plastics converters, flame retardants producers, recyclers … Green purchasing deciders. Regulators. Operators and experts in Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD), green chemicals, product fire safety etc…
Registrants will be able to ask questions and dialogue with speakers, panellists and other participants (via the Chat) and will have access to the participants list (subject to GPDR) and to conference materials.
