DUCC
The Downstream Users of Chemicals Co-ordination Group (DUCC) is a platform of European associations which represents approximately 10 000 'downstream' industries (mostly SMEs). DUCC's main objective is to contribute, with a common voice, to the successful implementation of the requirements of the REACH and CLP Regulations.
FEICA represents the adhesives and sealant industry in DUCC, together with participants from associations covering cosmetics; fragrances; soaps and detergents; aerosols; paints and inks; imaging and printing chemicals; crop protection chemicals; construction chemicals and chemical distribution. More information can be found on the DUCC website.
Construction 2050 Alliance
The Construction 2050 Alliance was launched during the 8th High Level Forum of Construction 2020 organised by DG GROW of the European Commission. The Construction 2050 Alliance brings together 47 EU associations, including FEICA, from construction products, to contractors, SMEs, building owners, machinery producers, social housing operators, engineers, promoters and many more.
Alliance members will work together to highlight the contribution of the built-environment to the EU Green Deal, which includes:
- the road to zero-emission and sustainable buildings
- sustainable and smart mobility/infrastructure
- energy efficiency and the renovation wave and
- the circular economy
On 5 May 2021, the European Commission released the new EU Industrial Strategy, which puts a renewed focus on the key ecosystems, including construction. FEICA, as member of the Construction 2050 Alliance, welcomes the priority given to the construction ecosystem as one of the sectors that faces the most important challenges in meeting climate and sustainability goals and in embracing the digital transformation. You can read the joint FEICA/Construction 2050 Alliance Press Release in the Information Centre.
The WAC is a global conference, held once every four years, and rotated between Asia (ARAC), Europe (FEICA), and North America (ASC). More information can be found in 'Events & conferences' and 'Past events'. More information about the adhesive and sealant industry around the world can be found under 'Our industry'.
The next WAC will be organised by FEICA and held in London, from 16 to 18 September 2026. More information can be found at www.wac2026.org
