Presentation Will Focus on Sustainability-Misconceptions and Opportunities NEWTOWN, CT, U.S.A., For blow molders serving the packaging industry, sustainability can mean much more than light-weighting bottles and can even generate opportunities. This will be one of the messages of Amcor Rigid Plastics director of sustainability David Clark, who will deliver the keynote address at the 26th annual Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE) Blow Molding Conference. Sponsored by SPE's Blow Molding Division, the conference will take place in Atlanta on October 5-6, 2010. "Dave will provide attendees with an overview of Amcor's sustainability program and how it is integrated into its business strategy and everyday operations," said Scott Steele, chairman of the Blow Molding Division and vice president of Plastic Technologies Inc. "There is general misunderstanding of what sustainability is and why blow molders should care about it. Molders know about light-weighting and recycle use, but they may not be aware of the other opportunities a sustainability mindset can bring to their business." Clark leads Amcor's EnviroAction program to enhance the environmental profile of Amcor Rigid Plastics' plants and products, combining his hands-on technical and project-management skills with an interest in finding more sustainable business strategies. He is closely involved with PET recycling and issues related to the collection, processing, and use of recycled containers, as well as integrating sustainable design into Amcor's product development and innovation processes. David Clark hosts a sustainability blog at http://amcorforwardaction.com/blog/.
