SUMMARY:Webinar: New ASTM Performance Standard for General Public Facemasks and the Design Opportunities for Engineered Materials
DESCRIPTION:NEW ASTM PERFORMANCE STANDARD FOR GENERAL PUBLIC FACEMASKS AND THE DESIGN OPPORTUNITIES FOR ENGINEERED MATERIALS\nTuesday\, March 16\, 2021\nWhen the pandemic hit and supply chains for N95 respirators and medical/surgical facemasks were cut off overnight\, there was a tremendous need for supply of these PPE items. US meltblown capacity was not robust enough to meet demand. The industry needed to conserve meltblown for the healthcare sector while using other nonwoven­­­­­ media to provide protection to the general public. INDA worked with NIOSH (part of the CDC) and ASTM to develop a performance standard for general public facemasks that ensured comfort\, fit\, and some level of protection for the wearer as well as those around the wearer. This webinar will discuss the two performance levels of the new facemask standard\, the test methods\, and the opportunities created for facemask designers and filter media makers who want to capitalize on this new benchmark for true personal protection. \nSubject Matter Experts:\n\n\n\nJeff Stull\, President\, International Personnel Protection\, Inc. \nStull is President of International Personnel Protection\, Inc.\, which has provided expertise\, research\, and testing on the design\, evaluation\, selection and use of personnel protective equipment (PPE) to end users and manufacturers since 1993. He further has been instrumental in developing and promoting PPE standards for the improvements of PPE. He was one of the two Ebola grand challenge winners to develop PPE for West Africa in 2014. Mr. Stull has been very active in specific standards related to healthcare products including ASTM standards on medical gowns\, medical face masks\, and barrier face coverings as well as the NFPA 1999 standard on emergency medical protective clothing and equipment. \n\n\n\nDave Rousse\, President\, INDA \nRousse became INDA’s President in late 2012 following over 15 years’ experience in nonwoven producing companies and an entire career in engineered materials since graduating from Dartmouth and its associated Engineering and Business Schools. Rousse was President\, Hygiene/Medical Americas at Fiberweb in Simpsonville\, SC before being promoted in 2007 to President of all of Fiberweb Americas based in Nashville. Prior to Fiberweb\, Rousse was a Vice President at Monadnock Paper Mills\, a manufacturer of nonwovens and specialty papers. He was also a Vice President & General Manager at FiberMark Inc.\, another specialty paper/nonwovens producer. Prior to that he held a series of marketing/sales leadership positions at International Paper.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Plastics Concerns and the Nonwovens Industry
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, March 25\, 2021\nThe European Union has launched the Single Use Plastics Directive\, which is intended to address plastic items found on beaches in Europe. This effort has resulted in a definition of “plastic” that fits within the EU’s REACH system for regulating chemicals. This definition will render viscose\, a regenerated cellulose product and a key ingredient in many nonwoven products (especially wipes)\, as a “plastic”. In turn\, viscose could be subjected to new taxes\, labeling requirements\, and outright bans. This webinar will review the state of play in the EU and in North America\, where legislative initiatives related to plastics have been introduced in California\, Canada and the US Congress. Learn about the threats this could mean to the industry\, and how INDA is engaged with other plastic industry associations to inform policy makers of the unintended consequences of material-specific versus performance-based approaches. \n“All businesses involved in nonwovens should know of these impending impacts on nonwoven products and the unintended consequences to their business. Jessica Franken\, INDA Director of Government Relations\, will review the state of play and INDA’s engagement with other plastic industry associations to address the challenges of the EU approach. Tom Carlyle of Lenzing will discuss the viscose/lyocell supply and interchangeability realities.  This webinar is a must-attend for every decision maker within the nonwoven sector\,” said Dave Rousse\, President\, INDA. \nSubject Matter Experts:\n\n\n\nTom Carlyle\, Nonwovens Commercial Manager-Americas\, Lenzing AG \nCarlyle is a 25-year nonwovens veteran with 16 years in various R&D\, product development\, sales and business development roles before joining Lenzing.

SUMMARY:INDEX 20
DESCRIPTION:Since the beginning of the global pandemic\, the desire to provide the nonwovens community with an outstanding industry showcase\, whilst ensuring the best possible health protection and safety to a broad international audience\, has been of paramount concern to the INDEX™ Organisers.\nDue to on-going travel restrictions and unforeseen delays in vaccination programmes\, the Organisers are forced to recognise that the lifting of the Swiss federal governmental restrictions regarding sizeable gatherings of people and a consequent return to normal business\, may take a little longer than anticipated.\nTo ensure that INDEX™20 has every opportunity of taking place this year\, the INDEX™20 Organisers\, PALEXPO and EDANA\, have decided to adopt two important measures\, designed to guarantee the widest possible visibility and participation to all. \nThe first is to announce that INDEX™20 is postponed until 19 – 22 October 2021.\nAs a major international event in the nonwovens calendar\, the Organisers feel they must take advantage of every possibility of maximising visitor attendance and ROI for exhibitors.\nDelaying the event for an additional 6 weeks\, will increase the opportunities for a broader range of participants to attend INDEX™20 in person. Naturally\, the strictest health protocols will be applied and rigorously observed at the event\, to ensure the best conditions are in place to conduct business safely. \nThe second initiative is to introduce a comprehensive virtual platform for INDEX™20. This exciting digital tool will enable the over 14\,000 exhibitors and visitors to interact directly if they so wish\, extend the event’s reach both in terms of geography and applications\, and provide live and on-demand product content and information. A data-driven matchmaking facility will assist participants in contacting and networking with like-minded attendees in their particular sector. \nPALEXPO and EDANA remain available for any further information that may be required and thank you for your continued support.
