EDANA Sustainability Forum |
A new event that provides valuable insights and solutions for a more sustainable nonwovens industry
EDANA, the voice of nonwovens
Promote the sustainable development of our industry for a community of over
300 companies worldwide and advocate the benefits of nonwovens for society.
A new event that provides valuable insights and solutions for a more sustainable nonwovens industry EDANA is happy to launch the first EDANA Sustainability Forum, which is an evolution of our previous Circular Nonwovens Forum. It will cover all relevant sustainability topics for the nonwoven industry: natural raw materials, consumer expectations, circularity, bioeconomy, etc.
The first two days of the conference includes keynote speeches, panel discussions, round tables and Q&A sessions. It is the opportunity to learn, share and network on sustainability. The Forum aims to overcome challenges and collectively find opportunities to accelerate the industryโs net-positive impact.
The third day starts with a breakfast event in the European Parliament, followed by a visit of this institution.
Opportunity to network with your peers will be offered throughout the Forum, including a Gala Dinner on the first day.
The Edana Sustainability Forum is hosting different stakeholders, such as NGOs, companies across all sectors, and throughout the value chains, European regulators and legislators, providing their perspectives and research for a net-positive impact. You will also find Motivational speakers, that will push the momentum and initiate the conversation on the sustainability challenges and opportunities that we face as an industry.
