Apparel and footwear symposium at Portland Green Chemistry event
19/05/2016
“The apparel and footwear industries are confronted with a number of challenges as they supply product to an expanding global population,” the organisers said in the build-up to the event, scheduled for Tuesday, June 14. “Green chemistry and engineering innovation is increasingly seen as the way for industry to deliver high-performance materials and product while simultaneously minimising environmental impact.”
Chaired by John Frazier, a sustainable chemistry expert who worked for Nike for 15 years, the symposium will highlight efforts and tools used by textile and polymer chemical suppliers, apparel manufacturers, footwear manufacturers, and brands to “deliver on the demands for product performance while preserving constrained resources”.
