With an ever-increasing focus on the impact plastics have on the planet, the entire plastics supply chain, including product designers and brand owners, are coming under increasing pressure to create products that have minimal impact on the environment and with their end-of-life in mind.
”A very useful conference... with excellent speakers throughout."
Consulting Engineer, LM WINDPOWER
At this year’s conference, delegates have a unique opportunity to gain impartial and crucial information from fellow sustainability professionals on a range of issues affecting the wider plastics supply chain today. The event considers the latest design and development trends across material suppliers, recyclers, converters, research and academic institutes, brand owners and designers, offering a timely and cost-efficient way to discover what the future of design for recycling and sustainability holds.

- Over 60 attendees
- 15 countries represented worldwide including: South Africa, Canada, Thailand and the USA.
- Brands who previously attended the event include: HP, PHILIPS, HONDA, ELLA's KITCHEN and NESTLE

Germany

Berlin is a global centre for the creative industries, celebrated for its design tradition and contemporary creations. The city has demonstrated remarkable social, economic and cultural achievements in the field of design, and the open-minded atmosphere provides the ideal framework for internationally-recognised trade fairs, festivals and platforms, all of which promote international exchange.
Berlin is one of 180 global cities within the UNESCO Creative Cities Network. This network works together towards placing creativity and cultural industries at the heart of their development plans at the local level, and cooperating actively on an international level, as a strategic factor for sustainable development.
One example of Germany's crossroad of diverse backgrounds and histories, this year Berlin is celebrating the centenary of Bauhaus - a school of design and a field for experimenting in the free and applied arts, design, architecture and education. In post-war Germany, it ushered in a new way of thinking that inspired a break with traditional ideas and old ways of life.

Unfortunately AMI cannot take responsibility for such problems. We recommend that you ensure that your travel plans leave you enough spare time to cope with weather delays or industrial action and that your travel insurance policy will recompense you for any financial loss that you suffer as a result of being unable to travel for other reasons. Remember that if you cannot attend an event then you can always send a colleague in your place at no charge.
It is entirely possible that you may need a valid visa to enter a country where AMI is holding an event. This is especially the case for individuals attending our events and holding non-European passports. We recommend that at the time of booking you check the visa requirements with the embassy of the host country in your home location. We are unable to give refunds to delegates who cannot attend conferences because they fail the visa requirements of the country concerned.
AMI always does its utmost to avoid changes in advertised conference programmes. However it is a fact of life that from time to time amendments have to be made as a result of changes to speakers’ circumstances or corporate change. Remember that you can always check with our conference staff on the latest status of any conference programme.
AMI welcomes presentation offers for our conferences!
Within each conference heading you will find a section on ‘Speaking Opportunities, which tells you what to do if you want to submit a presentation proposal.
We would love to hear from you. Please let the AMI conference team know.
Please contact the AMI conference team and they will be happy to help!
