The annual Global Release Liner Industry Conference & Exhibition, hosted by AWA Conferences & Events, will feature a broad speaker platform, a complementary exhibition, and sponsor companies from different sectors of the industry. This forum, for all concerned in the manufacture and use of release liners, takes place at the Hyatt Rosemont Hotel, Rosemont, IL, USA, March 31 to April 1. Those unable to attend the full conference can instead visit the exhibition, which will be open from 8 am to 8 pm on the first day, and from 8 am to 2.30 pm on the second day.
The conference agenda explores both opportunities and issues in an industry which, as a whole, provides technical functionality across a variety of markets.

The formal program concludes with a special session devoted to release liner waste, led by Channeled Resources Group’s Calvin Frost, and featuring a checklist of the tools that drive liner recycling (e.g., scorecards, legislation, cost reductions, and corporate sustainability statements); a study of sustainable recycling of polyester release liners; converting release liner into energy;and an open panel discussion on release liner waste and solutions.
