How can plastics companies improve their bottom lines through green business principles? Why should I care what my company’s carbon footprint is, and how do I begin to find out? How do I trim waste and how can I turn energy management into a competitive advantage?

Two dozen presenters will tackle these and similar issues Nov. 5-7 in Chicago at Sustain ’08: Plastics Business Summit, organized by The Society of the Plastics Industry Inc. and Plastics News.

The event will involve firms from all parts of the supply chain and across diverse end markets - from automotive, construction and medical to packaging, retail and electronics. Processors will hear from their original-equipment and brand-owner customers about what is expected of them as environmental scrutiny intensifies.

Sustain ‘08 includes an optional, Nov. 5 Energy-Management Workshop designed to help attendees slash their energy bills by better understanding how to manage their energy consumption.

They will discuss how to improve the technologies, decrease the costs and adopt new materials to comply with the requirements on light weight, environment protection and energy-saving.
