Against the backdrop of a continuously evolving global landscape, the adhesives and sealants industry faces multifaceted challenges. The FEICA Conference seeks to navigate through these challenges by spotlighting the pivotal role of sustainable solutions in shaping economic resilience. From raw material procurement to manufacturing processes and end-of-life considerations, conference organizers are looking for presentations offering insights into a holistic approach to a more sustainable and economically robust industry, illustrating how innovations not only align with EU sustainability goals but also translate into tangible business advantages.

Focus areas for the 2024 breakout sessions program include:

• Raw material development, including renewable raw materials and new product applications;
• Resource-efficient technologies, energy and raw material sourcing, and trends;
• Eco design and material efficiency, adhesives and sealants as enablers of energy efficiency, and innovations supporting durability, repair and recycling; 
• Innovative manufacturing technologies, innovation, and growth;
