12:45 p.m. - 1:45 p.m.—The Cost of Sustainability
Presented by: Giancarlo Caimmi, Vice President, Nordmeccanica Group and Guido Kollbach, Technical Director, Flexible Packaging Adhesives, Henkel Corp.

Sustainability may involve investments on new equipments and new technologies but is not only an aggravation in costs for the converter. In almost every case sustainability can be regarded as a significant saving in production costs. Energy saving in machinery is, at the same time, a sustainable approach and a cost saving; energy efficient equipment will pay back for the extra cost very quickly and will generate savings for its entire life. On the other end adhesive formulation can help in many different ways to reduce pollution, waste and energy consumption. A variety of alternative solutions for sustainability in machinery, process and adhesives, will be discussed with real life examples.
