Join us with our partner, The Royal Society of Chemistry, to hear from Professor Anju Massey-Brooker about their mission for sustainable polymer liquid formulations (PLFs) – to catalyse the transition to a world in which we enjoy the benefits of PLFs while protecting the health of people and the planet.

Polymers in liquid formulations (PLFs) play a vital role in our lives – from improving food productivity to treating wastewater – but they also have significant environmental impacts. Every year, around 36 million tonnes of these materials are made from fossil sources – enough to fill Wembley Stadium 32 times over.

The Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), have been working with some of the leading chemistry-using companies in the world to put the issue of PLFs on the map, and their Sustainable PLFs Task Force has set an overarching ambition for industry: transition to a sustainable PLFs market by 2040.

Achieving this will require a concerted, coordinated effort across the whole innovation ecosystem – from building the fundamental knowledge base, to developing networks for collaboration, investing in research and innovation, and enacting effective policies and regulation.

Professor Anju Massey-Brooker is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry with multiple awards in academic research and industry and has recently accepted the roles of member and secretariat for the RSC’s Sustainable Polymers in Liquid Formulations (PLFs) Task Force.

The online Teams meeting link will be shared to all delegates prior to the online event.
