The registration is open until April 30th on the website conference.green-composites.tech. Participation is free of charge.

The industry meeting at Targi Kielce under is held the banner of "Sustainable approach to green transformation in polymer materials" and discusses the following issues;

• Green alternatives in the synthesis of polymers and polymer composites
• Sustainable production of polymers and polymer composites
• Plastic waste recycling and reuse
• Management of polymer waste
• Life cycle assessment of polymers and polymers composites
• Enterprises' green transformation

The speakers' list at the conference held within the Plastpol expo in Kielce includes valued industry specialists. Ph.D. engineer Maria Kurańska, professor at the Krakow Tadeusz Kościuszko University of Technology's Faculty of Chemical Engineering and Technology, will discuss the implementation of circular economy principles in the synthesis of polyurethane foams.

Engineer, PhD. Hab Elżbieta Piesowicz, professor at the West Pomeranian University of Technology in Szczecin, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Mechatronics, will explain the issue of non-standard EPDM rubber use in the production of TPE-V. "Composites with waste fillers of plant origin: a step towards sustainable development in rotational moulding" - this is the topic of the lecture delivered by  Ph.D. engineer Mateusz Barczewski, professor at the Poznań University of Technology, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Institute of Materials Technology, Department of Plastics.

Katarzyna Pokwicka – Croucher, founder and CEO of Ecopolplast, will discuss the issue of innovative polymers:  Ecoplastomer® 100% made of recycled. Lecture topic of Dr.  Mikelisa Kirpluksa's   Senior Researcher at the Latvian State Institute of Wood Chemistry, is "Michael's Addition - a new path for thermosetting bioresins and polymer foams."
