SDC To Host Conference On Sustainability & Circularity
The Society of Dyers and Colorists (SDC) is hosting a global conference on sustainability and circularity within the global textile colouration space between June 18 and 19, 2024.
The event which is open to members and non-members of the SDC aims to explore four key themes across two days.
Professor Calvin Wong, Professor in Fashion at PolyU in Hong Kong, will deliver the keynote presentation on ‘Artificial Intelligence in Textile Production’.
Raj Tanna, Founder of the Schützen Group from India, will also provide a keynote presentation on ‘Reinventing dyeing and finishing’.
While, Gjuillaume Boissonnat, Chief Scientific Officer at PILI in France, will provide the third keynote on ‘Bringing Natural into Manufacturing’.
Surinder Chahal, Vice President of Customer Alliances at Croda, will be the final keynote speaker for the fourth theme which will focus on the ‘Sustainable Impact of Textile Dyeing on our World.’
According to SDC, this event aims to bring together a prestigious network of people and organisations to discuss pioneering sustainability innovations that can drive further change.
“This global conference is being held as a result of feedback from members of the society, who are seeking more internationalism,” Dr Graham Clayton, CEO of The Society of Dyers and Colourists said.
“This event has been designed to address the need for in-person collaboration and the society hopes to deliver a conference that enlarges attendees’ networks and knowledge,” Dr Clayton added.
