SUMMARY:SPESA to Host 2021 Executive Conference
DESCRIPTION:The Sewn Products Equipment and Suppliers of the Americas (SPESA) will host its annual Executive Conference Wednesday\, October 27 and Thursday\, October 28 at the historic Omni Parker House in the heart of downtown Boston. The two-day event\, themed “Riding the Momentum\,” will bring together industry professionals for learning\, networking\, and the opportunity to explore Boston in a fun and memorable way. This is the first in-person Executive Conference SPESA has hosted since its 2019 version\, which took place in New Orleans. Last year’s event was held virtually. \nThis year’s Executive Conference will take place at an important time in history for the sewn products industry. The industry has experienced a surge of momentum over the past two years as it adopted new technologies\, mended supply chains\, and developed more flexible manufacturing strategies — much of which was done in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Through a combination of keynote addresses and panel discussions\, the conference will aim to discuss how the industry landscape has shifted over the past few years\, while also doing a deep dive into where the industry is headed next.

SUMMARY:INDEX 20
DESCRIPTION:Since the beginning of the global pandemic\, the desire to provide the nonwovens community with an outstanding industry showcase\, whilst ensuring the best possible health protection and safety to a broad international audience\, has been of paramount concern to the INDEX™ Organisers.\nDue to on-going travel restrictions and unforeseen delays in vaccination programmes\, the Organisers are forced to recognise that the lifting of the Swiss federal governmental restrictions regarding sizeable gatherings of people and a consequent return to normal business\, may take a little longer than anticipated.\nTo ensure that INDEX™20 has every opportunity of taking place this year\, the INDEX™20 Organisers\, PALEXPO and EDANA\, have decided to adopt two important measures\, designed to guarantee the widest possible visibility and participation to all. \nThe first is to announce that INDEX™20 is postponed until 19 – 22 October 2021.\nAs a major international event in the nonwovens calendar\, the Organisers feel they must take advantage of every possibility of maximising visitor attendance and ROI for exhibitors.\nDelaying the event for an additional 6 weeks\, will increase the opportunities for a broader range of participants to attend INDEX™20 in person. Naturally\, the strictest health protocols will be applied and rigorously observed at the event\, to ensure the best conditions are in place to conduct business safely. \nThe second initiative is to introduce a comprehensive virtual platform for INDEX™20. This exciting digital tool will enable the over 14\,000 exhibitors and visitors to interact directly if they so wish\, extend the event’s reach both in terms of geography and applications\, and provide live and on-demand product content and information. A data-driven matchmaking facility will assist participants in contacting and networking with like-minded attendees in their particular sector. \nPALEXPO and EDANA remain available for any further information that may be required and thank you for your continued support.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Spunbond/Spunmelt/“Spunlace” Capacity/Demand Scenarios Prompted by the Pandemic
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, April 6\, 2021\nThe COVID-19 pandemic and the U.S. Federal Government response to it quickly upped the North American footprint for meltblown production. Tightness now is being seen in spunbond/spunmelt and in the wipes substrate often called “spunlace.”  As a result\, several new capacity announcements have been made in nonwovens. INDA’s Brad Kalil has been tracking developments in these sectors and will present data from the 2020 North American Supply Report.  His presentation will include an analysis and insights on developments caused by the pandemic response for wipes\, medical gowns\, and facemask materials.  “The North American Nonwovens Supply Report provides valuable data and actionable industry information to enhance decision making\, strategic planning and business investment decisions.  Brad will share 2020 Report findings and his perspective on recent capacity announcements. If you’re involved in nonwovens and engineered materials\, you’ll find value in this webinar” said Dave Rousse\, President\, INDA. \nSubject Matter Experts:\n\n\n\nBrad Kalil\, Director of Market Intelligence and Economic Insights\, INDA \nKalil joined INDA in April of 2013.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Plastics Concerns and the Nonwovens Industry
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, March 25\, 2021\nThe European Union has launched the Single Use Plastics Directive\, which is intended to address plastic items found on beaches in Europe. This effort has resulted in a definition of “plastic” that fits within the EU’s REACH system for regulating chemicals. This definition will render viscose\, a regenerated cellulose product and a key ingredient in many nonwoven products (especially wipes)\, as a “plastic”. In turn\, viscose could be subjected to new taxes\, labeling requirements\, and outright bans. This webinar will review the state of play in the EU and in North America\, where legislative initiatives related to plastics have been introduced in California\, Canada and the US Congress. Learn about the threats this could mean to the industry\, and how INDA is engaged with other plastic industry associations to inform policy makers of the unintended consequences of material-specific versus performance-based approaches. \n“All businesses involved in nonwovens should know of these impending impacts on nonwoven products and the unintended consequences to their business. Jessica Franken\, INDA Director of Government Relations\, will review the state of play and INDA’s engagement with other plastic industry associations to address the challenges of the EU approach. Tom Carlyle of Lenzing will discuss the viscose/lyocell supply and interchangeability realities.  This webinar is a must-attend for every decision maker within the nonwoven sector\,” said Dave Rousse\, President\, INDA. \nSubject Matter Experts:\n\n\n\nTom Carlyle\, Nonwovens Commercial Manager-Americas\, Lenzing AG \nCarlyle is a 25-year nonwovens veteran with 16 years in various R&D\, product development\, sales and business development roles before joining Lenzing. He joined Lenzing in 2010 and currently holds the responsibility of Global Project Manager within their Nonwoven Business Management team. In this role\, he focuses on new technology development\, working mainly as a bridge between their Innovation team and the market. Prior to Lenzing\, Carlyle was with Continental/General Tire for eight years. He also serves on INDA’s Technical Advisory Board\, INDA’s Plastics in the Environment Committee\, and also on the board of the Center for Baby & Adult Hygiene Products. Carlyle holds a Bachelors and Masters in Chemistry from the University of North Carolina-Charlotte. \n\n\n\nJessica Franken\, Director of Government Affairs\, INDA \nFranken has worked with the nonwovens industry for more than 20 years and is responsible for providing much needed expertise on legislative and regulatory policy affecting nonwovens as well as serving as one of the industry’s leading liaisons with public officials. \nFranken is responsible for authoring the INDA Washington Alert\, a monthly newsletter focused on nonwovens policy developments that is a valued member resource. She has also authored scores of articles in trade magazines\, prepared countless official submissions on behalf of the industry\, testified in policy hearings\, and delivered numerous conference presentations on critical topics of the day. She has also engaged with officials at all levels of government on behalf of the association. \nFranken has 30 years of experience in the policy world\, dating all the way back to\, paid internships for a former Speaker of the House and U.S. Energy Secretary\, and as paid staff on Capitol Hill.
