Rebecca Lipscomb, director of global regulatory affairs at INX International Ink Co., experienced a successful return to the centerstage at the 2023 PRINT UV Conference. She addressed the audience for two seminars at the 15th annual event, May 2-4 at the Encore at Wynn Resort in Las Vegas, NV, USA.
Last year Lipscomb was joined by Jonathan Graunke, INX’s VP of UV/EB technology and assistant R&D director, for a presentation on sustainable development goals for printers. On May 3, she tackled regulatory issues at the 11:30 morning session – Navigating the Green Frontier: Regulations & Sustainability in Print. Later at 3:45 p.m., she shared a road map of information while discussing, "Part Two, the Thrilling Revelations: Unraveling the Shades of Sustainability."
Lipscomb's first session delved into the always evolving regulatory landscape and discuss the associated complexities and their impact on greener technology.
“Regulatory issues will never go away. They are here for the duration and it’s a growing trend on a global scale,” states Lipscomb, who joined INX in 2011 and has served in her current position since 2020. “I shared details about SNURs, Prop 65 – the forever regulation – PFAS, which have millions of definitions covering thousands of substances, and EU regulations. Those are now spreading beyond the European Union and may impact your business.”
Her afternoon presentation was designed to have printer attendees strategize about their own sustainability brand and how it can mesh with brand owner expectations.
“It’s about where everyone is at today and where we go from this point,” remarks Lipscomb. “My goal was to get people thinking and have them build a road map beyond the GHG numbers, in addition to predicting the next evolution of what brand owners may expect, with some options and ideas. I shared some of my personal experiences and what INX has learned.”
As part of the event, INX experts also scheduled appointments to meet with attendees.
