“I hope that Europur (European Polyurethane Manufacturers Association) and China Polyurethane Industry Association can join forces to strengthen cooperation and seek better development for the entire polyurethane industry.” At the China International Polyurethane Exhibition in 2019, Bart J. ten Brink (Bart J. ten Brink), President of the European Polyurethane Flexible Foam Manufacturers Association, expressed his enthusiasm for the industry Vision.
Since its establishment, the European Polyurethane Flexible Foam Manufacturers Association has been aiming at promoting the union and development of the European polyurethane industry. Europur speaks to regulators and other stakeholders (such as media, consumers, industry associations) on behalf of the European polyurethane foam industry, contributes to the formulation of industry-related standards and regulations, and actively carries out polyurethane flexible foam life cycle performance research projects wait. Europur unites European polyurethane upstream and downstream enterprises to work together to create a better future.
Mr. Tan Brinker said: “Our players in the European and PU value chains form an alliance to jointly explore and seek a sustainable development path. We pay close attention to global and local future sustainable development trends , is committed to gathering the strength of all sectors of society, and pursuing the green, healthy and sustainable development of the polyurethane industry.”
In addition, Mr. Tan Brinker is also very concerned about the issue of plastic waste pollution. Plastic waste pollution is already threatening the natural environment—especially the marine environment—as much as climate change. The recycling and reuse of plastic waste is a global topic, and Europur has been working hard to find opportunities to unite industry partners, well-known enterprises, governments, NGOs and consumers to cooperate across borders to promote plastic waste prevention and control of pollution.
When talking about the Sino-US trade war, he said: The trade war has caused varying degrees of damage to the global economy, consumer trust is declining, and the demand for polyurethane foam in some areas is experiencing the first in recent years. slide. He regretted this and called on the relevant governments to engage in active dialogue and seek a proper solution.
It is understood that on the day of the 2019 China International Polyurethane Exhibition, Mr. Tan Brinker and Yang Maoliang, chairman of the China Polyurethane Industry Association, had an in-depth dialogue and exchange, and the two sides discussed the current situation and prospects of the polyurethane industry In-depth discussion and friendly communication.
“China’s polyurethane market accounts for a considerable share in the global market and has a decisive influence,” said Mr. Tan Brinker. Actively dialogue, find common goals for both parties, and finally achieve win-win cooperation.”
