Lunch and Learn’ webinars: the Product Lifecycle Webinar Series
Sustainability in plastics processing is increasingly important and the industry needs to understand the complete lifecycle of products.
To help with this, the PCN and the BPF have joined forces to present a series of ‘Lunch and Learn’ webinars: the Product Lifecycle Webinar Series.
Presented by expert consultants in the PCN from all sectors of the industry, the webinar series will cover all aspects of the life of a product under the general topics of: raw materials, manufacturing, use, end-of-life and managing the product life. The complete series will provide the industry with the essential knowledge needed to succeed in a rapidly changing world.
Each 45-minute webinar is free for BPF members and will focus on a specific topic, presented by acknowledged industry experts in each specific area.
