On 16-17 September, Jörg Palmersheim, ISOPA Secretary General, attended the 6th PU Elastomers Trading Conference in Brühl, Germany. The conference, which takes place every two years, aimed at bringing together a multitude of actors across the polyurethane elastomers value chain in order to discuss the current economic climate, regulatory framework governing the sector and latest developments in the industry.
Participants emphasised the need to foster initiatives in order to promote new technologies that can be used by customers in a multitude of products. To that end, ISOPA took opportunity to focus on the material’s sustainability potential in contributing to the industry’s innovation and gave a presentation on “Polyurethane, the sustainable material”.
