Environmental issues and the impact of Brexit are now front and centre for industry. The onus is on manufacturers, producers and suppliers to take affirmative, demonstrative action in utilising eco alternatives as we move towards a circular economy. Industry leaders are also trying to work out what changes Brexit might bring.

The 20th annual RINA Conference - Electrical and Electronic Equipment and the Environment – will seek to provide some guidance. It is taking place at the Radisson Blu Edwardian Hotel, Heathrow, UK on November 13-14, 2019.

It will provide a rare platform for stakeholders to address the many challenges facing the industry today as well as an opportunity for policy makers and the industry to come together to discuss a pragmatic approach to legislation and compliance.

The speaker line-up includes:

  • Dave Bench, Director, EU Exit, Chemicals – Health and Safety Executive
  • Graeme Vickery, WEEE, RoHS, batteries and ELV Lead, Resources and Waste Policy – DEFRA
  • Marvin Taylor, Head of Ecodesign and Energy Labelling – Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS)
