In 2011, the second PolyTalk gathered industry captains and green economy “gurus”, such as John Elkington, to set the first steps towards the development of a sustainability roadmap for the plastics industry. What is ailing us in 2012? And what, if anything, can and should be done to put things back on track? The world population is growing at a steady rate, approaching 9 billion people in the coming decades. The wealth gap between north and south is increasing at an unacceptable pace. The scarcity of vital resources, such as water and fossil fuels, if not dealt with on time, will have severe consequences on all. Can we afford to idly stand by and watch? And how about the plastics industry? Does it have any future in Europe? Are plastics part of the solution or are they aggravating the problem? Is this the beginning of the end? As citizens of Europe, it is our duty to act now and to find viable solutions; business as usual is no longer an option. We believe it is high time to reconcile science and emotions, productivity and resource preservation, profitability and social responsibility. Do you think plastics, the material that some love to hate, is part of the solution? I hope you will join us at PolyTalk 2012 to have your say! 3 Polytalk_brochure2012_FINAL_PolyTalk2012 30/07/12 16:40 Page4 ® The place to... ...stay in touch with today’s challenges Polytalk_brochure2012_FINAL_PolyTalk2012 30/07/12 16:40 Page5 ...exchange and discuss 5 Polytalk_brochure2012_FINAL_PolyTalk2012 30/07/12 16:40 Page6 ® The place to... ...meet people and network Polytalk_brochure2012_FINAL_PolyTalk2012 30/07/12 16:40 Page7 ...have fun! 5 Polytalk_brochure2012_FINAL_PolyTalk2012 30/07/12 16:40 Page8 The Gala Dinner Polytalk_brochure2012_FINAL_PolyTalk2012 30/07/12 16:41 Page9 Dr Wilfried Haensel Executive Director, PlasticsEurope The European plastics industry is highly aware of the responsibility it has towards the well-being and safety of anyone using our products. We are also aware that “business as usual” is not an option bearing in mind the growth of the world population and the further strain this will entail on our shrinking resources. The captains of our industry are eager to support this endeavour by establishing an active dialogue with you and other key players to shape the solutions that will respond appropriately to the environmental, economic and societal challenges we all have to face. For this purpose PolyTalk 2012 “Plastics – an intriguing love story” on Friday, 21 September in Wiesbaden, Germany will bring together policy-makers, high level industry representatives and other relevant key players to pave the way for a “zero impact growth” roadmap to promote prosperity in Europe with the significant contribution of the plastics industry providing safe and sustainable products to enhance the well-being of citizens.

As one of Europe’s key industries, does the plastics industry have a role to play in the European economic recovery process? Will plastics, the youngest material on the planet, form an intrinsic part of the solution or are they aggravating the many challenges society is facing? At PolyTalk we offer a unique learning opportunity that will help participants understand the full potential of the industry and the material that is yet to be explored.

Therefore, energy efficient construction is a significant contribution to climate protection, but at the same time leads to cost savings for the operator of the building. Environmental challenges together with the trend towards further urbanisation are leading to an increasing demand for sustainable buildings today. Dr Thomas Roemer Bayer MaterialScience Developing integrated plans and turning them into reality requires an aligned interaction of highly specialised experts across multiple disciplines. Therefore, Bayer MaterialScience founded the EcoCommercial Building Programme as an expert network with solutions for the energy-efficient, environmentally friendly and economical construction of commercial buildings. In managing this network, Bayer MaterialScience as a raw material supplier takes on an industry integrating role. Common principle is to initially optimise the energy demand to an environmental and economical optimum. This includes the design of the building, thermal insulation of the building envelope and energy efficient building technology. Subsequent follows the coverage of the optimised energy demand with an energy supply including renewable energies. Based on a smart combination of today readily available technologies up to 90 percent of the primary energy demand can be saved. The principles of sustainable construction are global and applicable to any building type, but have to be adopted locally in order to meet respective energy efficiency, environmental and economic targets and guidelines. The EcoCommercial Building Programme relates to the need of local adaptation through involvement of locally present experts with the respective market knowledge. This industry integrating marketing and development network aims at increasing the penetration of sustainable buildings globally and hence creating a market pull for the network members’ products as well as gaining and taking up first-hand innovation impulses. 18 Polytalk_brochure2012_FINAL_PolyTalk2012 30/07/12 16:43 Page19 Plastics for a Pioneering Concept Car: The smart forvision in Cooperation with BASF In September 2011, Daimler and BASF presented a pioneering concept vehicle at the Frankfurt Motor Show (IAA): The smart forvision. The new vehicle brings design, lifestyle and technology together to form a new functional whole. Thomas Fritzsche BASF SE The concept car combines futuristic design with innovative technologies in the areas of lightweight design, heat management and energy efficiency. As a result, the smart forvision is the perfect vehicle for showcasing new technologies. The researchers and developers have succeeded in combining no less than five automotive world premieres in the new concept vehicle. Transparent organic solar cells, transparent organic light-emitting diodes, all-plastic wheels, new lightweight body components and infrared-reflective films and coatings all help reduce the vehicle’s energy consumption and so increase its range and comfort. The smart forvision not only shows that electric mobility can make emission-free driving possible. At the same time it paves the way for new technologies in the automotive sector. The total of all technologies integrated in the concept vehicle make a perceptible contribution to increasing the range. This is always at the centre of discussions relating to battery-electric driven vehicles. With maximum energy efficiency, intelligent heat management and consistent lightweight construction it is possible to increase the range by up to 20 percent. 19 Polytalk_brochure2012_FINAL_PolyTalk2012 30/07/12 16:44 Page20 Best cases Engineering Polymers in Medical Applications Constant innovation causes medical technology equipment to evolve at a rapid pace. Materials of construction play a central role in the design of new equipment. As the patient community demands increased safety and accuracy from providers, these dictates are ultimately met through high-performance materials. There is an increasing trend towards “smart” products, including “intelligent” drug delivery systems like insulin injection pens, powder inhalers and needleless injectors. Using engineering plastics in medical technology can help reduce total manufacturing cost, through consolidation of multiple parts into a single unit and by implementation of automated assembly processes. Daniel Behrens Ticona Ticona recognises the challenges of mission-critical components and offers an array of leading edge materials that are excellent candidates for medical applications. Ticona’s resins are offered globally yet supported locally, with materials and services available to support all phases of development. Beyond that, Ticona is committed to producing its medical technology (MT) grades over the long term, making Ticona the logical choice to supply resins for medical engineering needs. Ticona’s MT products have a history of use in components of diagnostic systems, large clinical equipment, pharmaceutical packaging and articulating bearing surfaces for orthopedic implants. Other applications in which Ticona’s highperformance plastics have demonstrated successful performance include dosing and delivery systems and minimally invasive surgical instruments. © Ticona 20 Polytalk_brochure2012_FINAL_PolyTalk2012 30/07/12 16:44 Page21 Solar Impulse – Driver of Progress Aviation has always been an outstanding agent of progress and innovation. The aim of Solar Impulse and its creators is not to revolutionise the aviation industry – it would be stupid and pretentious to even attempt this – but instead to use the power of this airborne symbol to help change people’s minds about renewable energies. In the present context, people are put off by the sheer scale of the problems. Instead, they should be encouraged, because technological solutions exist that can create jobs and open new markets whilst also protecting the environment. André Borschberg Solar Impulse Aviation, for its part, must clearly change to survive, given the constant rise in the price of kerosene and CO2 taxes. But it is obvious that, unlike Solar Impulse, airliners’ engines are not about to start functioning without fuel. The solar airplane simply demonstrates that “less can mean more”. Solar Impulse has started to fulfill the good-citizenship role for which it was designed. The solar airplane provokes discussions amongst the highest political and economic authorities about technological solutions currently available to help them achieve the world’s agreed CO2 reduction targets. And it also allows them to tackle the problem of resistance to change, which risks locking us in for too long into the dangerous and costly consequences of old habits. It is with the aim of promoting such processes of change that Europe is using Solar Impulse, to give an example of what clean technology is capable of achieving. The gigantic, but ultra-lightweight dimensions of this revolutionary airplane – capable of flying day and night without fuel – are its trademark feature. To build it, the Solar Impulse team had to push back the frontiers of knowledge in materials science, energy management and the man-machine interface. Every one of its take-offs, propelled silently by its four electric motors, inspires us to consider using clean, new technologies to free our society, little by little, from dependence on fossil energy. With each of their great “firsts”, the adventurers of the last century constantly pushed back the limits of the impossible. Today, the drive to make new discoveries must go on, with the aim of improving the quality of life on our planet. By writing the next pages in aviation history with solar energy, and voyaging around the world without fuel or pollution, Solar Impulse's ambition is for the world of exploration and innovation to contribute to the cause of renewable energies, to demonstrate the importance of clean technologies for sustainable development; and to place dreams and emotions back at the heart of scientific adventure. But going beyond the question of energy, Solar Impulse would also like to encourage each and every one of us to become pioneers in our own lives, in our ways of thinking and behaving.
