Our conference offers an exceptional opportunity to immerse yourself in the dynamic world of foam, relevant to a number of end-user markets. Gain insights into end-user requirements, material innovation, and manufacturing optimization to meet your application specifications with precision.
Eco-conscious product promotion
Legislation, climate conservation, and customer preference are driving businesses to be conscious of environmental factors. However, with many options on the market, it can be challenging to find the right path. Reducing energy consumption, adopting bio-content, exploring end-of-life options, recycling, material reduction... the list is endless. We have collaborated with our exhibitors to help promote products and services that could be part of your eco-conscious strategy.
