Over the past 60 years, the Association has been proud to promote the versatility of the aerosol package and encourage innovation in the Australian aerosol industry.
Join us and our Guest Presenter, Professor Veena Sahajwalla, on the evening of 18 APRIL 2024 as we celebrate the 30th anniversary of that first awards event - and the 60th anniversary of the establishment of the Aerosol Association of Australia - with a lavish Gala Dinner at 'View by Sydney' in Walsh Bay.
Join us as we explore local and global challenges to the aerosol and debate strategies to ensure a sustainable future.
We have an impressive line-up of international speakers from the UK, Europe (Switzerland, Belgium, Czech Republic), the US and Japan who will join local speakers to address the Forum theme of ‘designing a better future’.
Topics covered will include recycling and EPR, product misuse, VOCs, the new EU f-gases regulations, indoor air, new filling technology and how industry associations around the world are addressing these new challenges.
