FEICA Master Class 2023
The Mass Balance Approach – FEICA Master Class recordings
The mass balance approach is important for the Adhesives and Sealants industry to participate in the shift to more sustainable feedstocks. Integrating renewable raw materials in products, including biobased and recycled materials, is a top-of-mind issue for European industry. Recycled content targets in upcoming regulation, likely starting with packaging, will further accelerate this shift away from fossil materials.
At the FEICA European Adhesive & Sealant Conference in September 2023, FEICA hosted a highly attended Master Class titled ‘Transitioning to sustainable raw materials: the mass balance approach’. Given the continued strong interest in the topic, FEICA is making the following narrated presentations from the Master Class available online. Please click the presentation title to view.
- An Introduction to the Master Class by Dr Dennis Bankmann (Independent scientific consultant, Emerging Motif)
- Dr Mathias Matner (Head of Sustainability and Advocacy, Coatings and Adhesives, Covestro) explains mass balancing from the perspective of the raw material producers.
- Dr Annett Linemann (Director Technology Outlook & Sustainability - Engineering Adhesives, H.B. Fuller) explains interest from the point of view of downstream users.
- Dr Jan M. Henke (Director, ISCC System) elaborates on certification and licensing, including where mass balancing is already applied, specifically for adhesives and sealants.
