A+A Announces Webinar Series, “Expert Talks”

Before the start of A+A, International Trade Fair and Congress for Safety and Health at Work (November 4 – 7 in Düsseldorf, Germany), the organizers are hosting the A+A Expert Talks series. The first webinar was held on November 5, 2024, with the focus on sustainability in personal protective equipment (PPE). Leading experts such as Christine Hentschel, Business Development Manager Sustainability at UVEX Safety Group, and Bernadette Niehaus, Sustainability Manager PSD EMEA at 3M Deutschland GmbH, presented forward-looking solutions for eco-friendly and practical PPE. Interest was high: with a large turnout of decision-makers from various industries, the event underscored its relevance for the future of the PPE industry. The first Expert Talk “PPE and Sustainability” episode is now available at https://vimeo.com/1026873496

Best practices were used to show how recycled materials such as polyester and recycled nylon can be successfully used in the PPE industry. These innovative approaches enable companies to manufacture high-quality and durable products while achieving their sustainability goals.

Strategies for reducing waste, implementing recycling programs and promoting repair services that contribute to the circular economy were also discussed. Another focus was on training and raising awareness among employees. Regular training on sustainable practices and the proper care of PPE not only maximizes the service life of equipment, but also promotes awareness of environmental protection and safety within the company.

The next Expert Talk will be dedicated to the trend topic of exoskeletons and will be held on February 11, 2025. The focus will be on exciting use cases that demonstrate how companies can gain a clear competitive advantage through the targeted use of exoskeletons. In addition, the latest study results from the A+A 2023 Exoworkathlon will be presented, offering valuable insights and perspectives. For further information and registration:
