European Rubber Journal (ERJ) has announced that it’s July/August Issue will include a special feature, the Elastomers for Sustainability Initiative (E4S), which will identify 10 of the most significant advances in the field of elastomer/rubber technology.
The publication has launched the E4S competition, which has invited both readers and companies to submit entries. The competition aims to help ERJ identify its Top 10 new materials technologies, based on their contribution to enhancing the environmental profile of the industry.
The E4S competition comprises of five categories, with individuals and companies able to provide suggestions, along with supporting details which can include published information, ranging from press releases to technical papers. E4S entries should ideally involve a product application, which has been commercialized within the last 18 months and materials technologies at an advanced stage of commercialization will also be considered. Categories include:
- Automotive components
- Construction, incl. recreational areas
- Consumer, medical and other GRGs
- Industrial products
- Tires
The top 10 technologies will be selected by an independent panel, comprising experts from leading industry associations and academic groups.
With companies able to submit entries till the 28th May, there is still time to enter and be in with the chance of being featured in ERJ’s Top 10. Here at Armitage, we look forward to seeing the results from what is an interesting competition, and the impressive technologies we are sure will emerge.
