Critical Developments Shaping Sustainable Industry Week 2024: Leading Suppliers, Speakers & Hot Topics

© Green Future ClubAs the countdown to Sustainable Industry Week 2024 continues, this year’s event promises to be a major milestone in the push for industrial sustainability. Taking place on 13-14 November 2024, at Koelnmesse, Cologne, the event will bring together four significant conferences and expos: Sustainable Materials, Sustainable Chemicals, Greener Manufacturing, and Plastic Waste Free World.

With over 3,000 professionals expected to attend, this event will provide unmatched opportunities for face-to-face connection, collaboration, and innovation. It will also embody two additional show features such as Industry Meets Design and the B2B Matchmaking service, designed to foster impactful partnerships and drive actionable solutions.

Leading Brands and InnovationsWith over 150+ industry innovators, the event will showcase top suppliers such as AIMPLAS, Nagase, Weidmann Group, UL Solutions, and Quantis. These industry leaders will demonstrate today’s new-age technologies focused on sustainable materials, chemicals, and manufacturing processes, driving progress toward carbon neutrality and circular economy goals.

Among the key exhibitors, Fosterra will play a prominent role in highlighting the importance of sustainable manufacturing. 

Benjamin Foster, President & Founder of Fosterra, expressed enthusiasm about their participation, stating, “We are excited to introduce our global Packaging Regulations Database (PRDB) at Sustainable Industry Week. This comprehensive tool is designed to simplify the complex landscape of packaging regulations, offering businesses access to country- and state-specific rules worldwide. We believe PRDB will be pivotal for companies aiming to navigate packaging compliance efficiently.” 

Fosterra’s participation underscores the event’s significance in advancing discussions around the integration of green technologies into business practices to meet evolving sustainability demands.

Attendees can expect insights from experts across the four conferences, including:
  • Plastic Waste Free World Conference & Expo, experts from the Packaging, Bioplastics, and Textile sectors will present strategies to mitigate the impact of plastics, share the latest research findings, and discuss the development of sustainable business models. Notable speakers include representatives from organisations such as TNO, ASTM International, and the PREVENT WASTE ALLIANCE.
  • At the Sustainable Materials Conference & Expo, pioneers at the forefront of the material transition like nova-InstituteGO!PHA and Total Materia AG will explore the future of eco-conscious design, focusing on recyclable and bio-based materials to drive the circular economy.
  • The Sustainable Chemicals Conference & Expo will dive into green chemistry and sustainable chemical production. Leaders like Global Impact Coalition and BIO.NRW will present breakthroughs in chemical solutions, highlighting alternative reaction pathways and renewable carbon sources.
  • Greener Manufacturing Conference & Expo will spotlight sustainable manufacturing innovations from companies like Carbon Trust and ERM, focusing on energy-efficient production methods and carbon footprint reduction.
Special Features and RegistrationReturning for its third year, the Industry Meets Design feature, in collaboration with the Green Future Club, connects sustainable material producers with design experts.
