Recycling
Re|focus Recycling Summit & Expo has launched a new event web site following the announcement of their agenda for The Plastics Industry Trade Association (SPI).
In collaboration with its Recycling Committee, SPI has designed the event to assist brand owners and processors in taking their environmental goals from an aspiration to an operation.
Conference track topics will include areas like cutting edge recycling technologies, product engineering and design, supply chain management and manufacturing with recycled content, regulatory and compliance issues, industry-specific topics on recycling to recovery and use of recycled content, sustainability challenges and solutions, and global manufacturing trends in recycled content.
There will also be two plenary sessions with keynote addresses and an off-site plant tour is also in development.
Gene Sanders, Senior Vice-President of Trade Shows, SPI, said: "The Re|focus content will provide brand owners, processors, engineers and designers with resources to help them translate environmental goals into concrete actions. We want to help companies look at product manufacturing in a new way, with an increased focus on recycling and sustainability.”
The programming team is seeking speakers with dynamic presentations who will participate in panel discussions and engage both other speakers and attendees through an active Q&A.
Presentations should focus on practical implementation and application of leading best practices in the specific subject areas outlined.
Kim Holmes, Senior Director of Recycling and Diversion, SPI, said: "SPI consulted with the industry to identify the challenges facing the supply chain and outlined subject matter to address these areas. The call for speakers will ensure we are aware of the best speakers outside our core group of thought leaders. We seek the best and brightest to round out many of the panel discussions where our experts are already involved."
As the session content ramps up, so does the expo floor which is designed to be a solutions-based space featuring material suppliers, equipment suppliers, and recycling and sustainability service providers.
Re|focus has received early exhibit commitments from numerous leading companies to include ADG Solutions and Davis-Standard, Bunting Magnetics, Fukutomi Green Products, Kice Industries, Plastics Technologies Inc., Phoenix Technologies, Rapid Granulator, Ravago, United Recycling, and WEIMA America.
The Re|focus Recycling Summit & Expo will be taking place April 25th-27th 2016 at the Rosen Shingle Creek conference centre and hotel in Orlando, Florida.
