8:30Sustainability Fireside Chat306
Session chair: Fiona Case, TechConnect, US
The thesis for this session is that while there are certainly political issues, some of the major factors limiting adoption of sustainable materials technologies are technical - limitations in materials and manufacturing. These are challenges which the TechConnect community could plausibly solve. Bring your questions and ideas and join our eminent panel of thought-leaders as we discuss what exists, and what is needed, to save the world.
