About this Event
Join us for a pivotal Sustainability Showcase Event, where we delve into the critical advancements shaping a greener future! This showcase will bring together the latest in sustainable materials characterisation methods, crucial insights into new regulations, and the transformative power of green chemistry.
Building a Sustainable Future
Our event highlights the innovative techniques used to assess and ensure the environmental performance of materials. Discover how advanced sustainable materials characterisation methods go beyond basic properties to evaluate a material's entire lifecycle – from raw material extraction to end-of-life management. We'll explore methods for assessing embodied energy, recyclability, biodegradability, and the presence of hazardous components, using techniques like advanced microscopy, thermal analysis, and spectroscopy, along with the increasing role of AI and machine learning in this field.
Stay ahead of the curve with a comprehensive overview of new regulations impacting sustainability in the UK and EU and witness the revolutionary impact of green chemistry, a philosophy focused on designing chemical products and processes that reduce or eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances. Learn about the 12 principles of green chemistry, including waste prevention, atom economy, and the use of renewable feedstocks and safer solvents. We'll showcase cutting-edge innovations such as biodegradable plastics, highly efficient and reusable catalysts, and novel solvent systems that are transforming industries and preventing pollution at its source.
Don't miss this opportunity to connect with experts, witness practical demonstrations, and gain a deeper understanding of the vital role these areas play in accelerating our transition towards a more sustainable and circular economy.
