Not surprisingly, materials are playing a key role as processors look to figure out ways to make their products more sustainability. This is the case in virtually all extrusion processes, from flexible and rigid packaging to PVC products for construction, and just about everything in-between.

If you’re a supplier of materials in response to the sustainability or circular economy push, you have the opportunity to present the nuts and bolts of what you have developed at the industry’s leading extrusion conference. 

Extrusion 2023 will be held Oct. 10-12  at the Hyatt Regency Indianapolis, Ind., and sustainability will be the theme of this event. We all know that sustainability is driving decisions in the plastics processing market worldwide, including the world of extrusion. So to us it is timely to have a conference program that hones in on this critical topic.

At Extrusion 2023,  all presentations will address sustainability in a meaningful way.  From the point of view of a materials supplier (primary resin or additives) this could mean presenting developments on advances in material sciences, such as biopolymers, or “greener” materials containing PCR, and of course processing tips on how these next-generation materials behave during processing, and what properties they yield. 

With a nod to Kermit the Frog, it’s not easy being green, so any advice you as a material supplier can offer to the extrusion processors in the audience will no doubt be well received.
