Transcription

1 COMPOSITES RECYCLING ESSENTIAL TECHNOLOGIES. IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCES. FRESH PERSPECTIVES. April 10-12, 2018 Knoxville, TN The latest, boldest and most on-point recycling information for composites pros.

2 WHY ATTEND? GAIN information and exchange ideas about sustainable and cost-saving recycling concepts LEARN to reduce scrap, increase productivity and discover new revenue streams to improve your bottom line NETWORK with pioneers, thought leaders, disruptors, doers and drivers of composites recycling EXPLORE next generation recycled products and innovative technologies changing the game SEE how businesses are adding significant value for customers through recycled materials ABOUT THE EVENT WHO SHOULD ATTEND? The 2018 Composites Recycling Conference has the essential technologies, dynamic education and limitless networking opportunities to accelerate your business towards a sustainable future. Industry professionals interested in turning scrap into revenue through composites recycling. Functions encouraged to attend includes manufacturing, supply chain, and engineering related to composites in marine, industrial, wind, automotive, aerospace and construction markets. Attendees will gain a better understanding of the economics, logistics, challenges, profit, research and potential for growth by capturing the value of scrap and end-of-life composites. MAKING THE BUSINESS CASE FOR RECYCLING: INDUSTRY UPDATE Get a progress report on the recently launched collaborative research project by IACMI The Composites Institute and the American Composites Manufacturers Association. The project aims to counter the perception that end-to-life (EOL) composites are inferior to competing materials because they are difficult to recycle. By providing new evidence, approaches to improve recyclability of both process scrap and EOL composites, the project is helping to build a positive business case for composites recycling. WHILE IN KNOXVILLE, BE SURE TO JOIN THE IACMI COMPOSITES INSTITUTE / UT LAB TOUR OR THE MDF AT ORNL/LOCAL MOTORS TOUR FOR ATTENDEES!
