Addressing Global Warming, Plastic Pollution,  Sustainable Feedstock, and Micro-Nano Particles in Food-chain

WELCOME to Innoplast Solutions 33rd   conference; 14th  on Re-Invention of Plastics!

After 90 years of unmatched benefits to human life, our Plastics Industry has come under scrutiny due to issues threatening the future, namely, (1) Climate Change (2) Land & Ocean Pollution and (3) Sustainability of Raw-Materials in the distant future, and lately (4) Micro-Nano Plastic Particles & Leached Chemicals in our Food Chain. Future technologies to take corrective actions  and address Sustainability & Environmental concerns can be categorized in following two areas:

  1. Non-Fossil Feedstock: Transitioning from traditional fossil based raw-materials to Renewable BioMass, Waste(s) and GreenHouse Gas (GHG) Emissions.
  2. Value Plastic-Waste: Cycling into Valued Products in a preferential order such as: Mechanical Recycling of Fossil/BioBased Plastics > Chemical Recycling into Building Blocks > Pyrolysis Oil > BioFuels > Incineration > BioDegradation > Landfil

Re-Shaping of Polymers/Plastics industry has already begun; join us to witness the future!!!

About the Organizer

about

Dr. Yash P. Khanna has decades of highly diversified industrial experience in the areas of Plastics and Analytical Sciences, His career is credited with over 120 research publications, 25 U.S. patents, Society of Plastics Engineer’s International “Engineering/Technology” Award (2001) and North American Thermal Analysis Society’s Fellowship (1988) and its highest honor, the Mettler Award (1997).

A highpoint of Dr. Khanna’s career has been to identify several new phenomena in common polymers, already in existence for 40-60 years. His industrial affiliations include Chief Technology Officer at Applied Minerals (2013-2015), Senior Technology Fellow / Director of Technology at Imerys (2005-2009), a $5B minerals company and Manager of Reinforced Engineering Thermoplastics Program at Rayonier (2001-2004), a $3B forest products company. The great majority of his career was at Honeywell (1975-2001) formerly AlliedSignal, a $40B conglomerate company at its Corporate Research & Technology Center as a Research Group Leader / Senior Principal Scientist. During 1990-2001, he also held positions as Business Unit Liaison to Specialty Films and key technologist for Packaging Resins, where scientific fundamentals formed the basis of new product / process development as well as technology marketing in North America and Europe. These significant business contributions were recognized through 5 Special Recognition awards and 3 business awards (“Growth,” “Sale of the Year,” and “Save of the Year”). Now at InnoPlast Solutions, Dr. Khanna’s technology driven business experience is playing a key role in offering “Value-Driven” conferences and courses.
