Trinseo Features Prominently at K Show 2019 Highlighting Rethinking Innovation - Seite 2

“We’re very proud to create positive change, with regards to both our own operations as well as via the solutions we provide to help our customers meet their measurable sustainability goals,” said Catherine Keenan, vice president, public affairs, sustainability and environment, health and safety (EH&S). “Since the last K Show, Trinseo has increased our transparency around stakeholder engagement and corporate social responsibility, issuing our most recent report in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards Core Option. We have reduced our green house gas (GHG) emissions by 48% since 2011. Sustainability continues to be integral in our mission to develop innovative, collaborative solutions that address the most pressing problems facing our customers and society at large.”

As part of K Show, Keenan will deliver the keynote address at a workshop hosted by Operation Clean Sweep (OCS), the pioneering initiative created to help the plastics industry keep pellets out of the environment. Titled “Zero Pellet Loss: A Value Chain Commitment,” the workshop will present an opportunity for education and discussion regarding the role and purpose of OCS in the plastics value chain. The workshop will take place on Friday, October 18 from 4-5 p.m., at Trinseo’s Main Booth and The Lab, Hall 6, Booths 6E60 and 6E57.

In addition, Trinseo will participate in a panel discussion by Styrenics Circular Solutions on Thursday, October 17 from 2:30-4 p.m. in the Conference Center South Meeting Room 8, featuring representatives from entities throughout the value chain who will discuss the importance and potential of circularity for styrenics.

Trinseo will also host a press breakfast at their booth on the morning of Thursday, October 17 from 9-10 a.m. In addition to presentations from Stedman, Keenan, and Sandra Hoffman, global technology & innovation director, synthetic rubber, a broader suite of company leaders will be available to discuss the latest material innovations and strategic advances being pursued at Trinseo.

Over the last three years, Trinseo’s evolution has continued as it has built a reputation for leading on progressive solutions that meet society’s most complex material needs. The company’s strategic acquisition of API in 2017 advanced differentiation in offerings in both rigid and soft-touch polymers, and recently announced plans to build a state-of-the-art TPE pilot facility in Hsinchu, Taiwan will enhance the firm’s ability to work together and create meaningful growth synergies with customers around the world.
