The conference examined new product developments, market trends, performance and safety testing and sustainability initiatives during the first two days, with the final day featuring an interactive workshop on building stakeholder trust. Feedback from participants throughout the event emphasised satisfaction with the mix and quality of expert content and the many opportunities to meet with industry peers. With the conference attracting participants from across the whole supply chain and around the globe, Outlook again confirmed its position as a unique must-attend event for nonwoven professionals, Edana said in a media statement.
The 17th edition of Outlook opened with a keynote speech on EU circular economy and plastics strategies from Werner Bosmans, DG environment, European Commission. This was followed with a session dedicated to circular economy and sustainability topics. Day two of the conference was opened by a presentation from Samuele Furfari of the Free University of Brussels on the geopolitical challenges of the changing energy landscape. Delegates also heard from industry experts on market trends, technical innovations, and multiple efforts to introduce further sustainable business practices in the nonwovens industry.
“This edition of Outlook has again featured, as deliberately planned these last few years, a very topical programme, directly addressing the current challenges in our industry. Discussions on the circular economy strategy, transparency, and trust in the supply chain were both thought-provoking and rewarding. It is very encouraging to witness the industry’s increasing readiness to engage in these topics and for Edana to facilitate constructive dialogue on both strategic and practical solutions. I was also very enthused by the insight of significant industry players on key trends and some very exciting technical innovations in our sector,” said Pierre Wiertz, general manager of Edana said.
