These are casual no-host dinners, so those who choose to lead the topic or create an event are not obliged to pay for dinner for those who attend, they simply are encouraged to help bring fellow like-minded attendees together for great conversation!

Tour the Future of Closed Loop

LOEWS PHILADELPHIA HOTEL – Meet in Lobby

While you are attending the Sustainable Brands New Metrics Conference, be sure and sign up for an offsite tour to visit the Continuus Materials facility and see the future of closed loop – recyte™ technologies.

On this hour and half tour you’ll see the facility that takes co-mingled waste and transforms it into a new Sustainable Raw Material called recyte™. And you’ll see how recyte can be made into board material with tensile strength that rivals particle board, fiber board and melamine. Plus, find out how it can become the new alternative to corrugated and foam board for your supply chain.

Sign up now for either Tuesday or Wednesday during the afternoon break:
Tuesday Nov 14 1:30 – 3:00

Wed Nov 15 1:30 – 3:00
