After cocktails and refreshments, guests were addressed by EFIBCA president Oliver Grüters who spoke about the mission of EFIBCA being not only advocacy of its members towards authorities, legislative and standardisation bodies, but also the promotion of the safe use of FIBCs and business ethics. Also featured were the recent launching of EFIBCA quality and ethics initiatives for members, the EFIBCA-Q Quality Pledge and the EFIBCA Code of Conduct, as well as the publication of a Questions & Answers Brochure for end users.

Guest speaker Remko Koster, director of polyolefins at IHS Chemical, gave an informative presentation on the global polypropylene market, reporting on regional responses to fluctuations in resource availability. “We were very pleased with the turnout and feedback. We look forward to hosting the second EFIBCA Dinner Reception in three years,” said general secretary Dr Isabell Schmidt. www.efibca.com
