McKinsey study: PVC pipes have 35-45% lower greenhouse gas emissions than alternatives
05/08/2022PPCA invites all potential presenters at Plastic Pipes XXI in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, USA, to submit 300 words abstract in English language before 11 November 2022. Title, name, position, company address, and contact details should also be included through the online submission site.
Presentations will address key technical and marketing issues relating to the design and development testing, installation and operation of plastic pipe systems. Papers will offer solutions to engineering issues in the use of plastic pipes system and identify market trends for further growth in the use of these systems. In-depth review will also extend to latest developments in application areas, materials, additives/ingredients, testing, performance and the most recent expertise acquired in the area of sustainability and its assessment.
The official language of the conference is English.
