The Adhesive and Sealant Council (ASC) is partnering with ASTM International (ASTM) to produce the inaugural "Adhesives and Sealants Sustainability Summit" July 26-27 at the Hyatt OHare in Rosemont, Ill. The Sustainability Summit will provide an opportunity for the adhesive and sealant supply chain to discuss all aspects of sustainability as it relates to the sector. "The trend of sustainability is no longer an emerging trend - it is an important part of the specification process for the industry, yet the market has not collaborated in order to agree on definitions, testing much less standards and measures," notes Matthew E. Croson, president of ASC. "ASC, in partnership with ASTM and its technical Committees D14 on Adhesives and C24 on Building Seals and Sealants that support adhesives and sealants, invite all industry stakeholders to attend this first ever event, and make sure their voice is heard when it comes to how green and sustainability impacts adhesives and sealants." The ASC/ASTM Sustainability Summit will feature three key note speakers that will outline issues impacting the sector, followed by panels that are focused on important market sectors, including transportation, building/construction and packaging, where participants will discuss issues concerning sustainability within the respective market segments. Keynote presentations will be made by:
Panel participants will include: Adhesives Panel Focused on Transportation:
Sealants Panel Focused on Building & Construction:
Adhesive Panel Focused on Packaging:
"We look forward to working closely with the ASC team as we collaborate to begin the process of agreeing on the various aspects of sustainability that touch the adhesive and sealant sector," notes Pat Picariello, director, Developmental Operations at ASTM International. "ASC represents the industry, and ASTM represents the process for discussion; working together we are confident that the industry will begin the necessary conversations it needs in order to agree on what sustainability means to the marketplace." ASC and ASTM invite all industry stakeholders to attend the meeting, share their thoughts on how sustainability impacts the industry.
