Keynote speaker Scott Breen looks ahead to Virtual Asia CanTech
Scott Breen, vice president of sustainability at the Can Manufacturers Institute (CMI), will be focusing on how the can is tailor-made for the circular economy during his keynote speech at this year’s Virtual Asia CanTech Conference.
Rising to the challenge
Hello everyone. It is good to be back as interim editor of CanTech International. In case anyone doesn’t know I previously edited the title between 2009 and 2013 and thoroughly enjoyed my time working in the sector.
A lot has changed during my time away from the industry and developments in metal packaging continue at a rapid pace. In the UK we’re about to go into another national lockdown due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Although I’m hopeful that we won’t see a repeat of the panic buying scenes that the country witnessed before the first lockdown, demand for canned products will likely increase.
New developments
Firstly we begin with news that editor Alex Fordham has left us to pursue a different career path. We thoroughly enjoyed working with him and would like to thank him for his time and dedication to CanTech International over the last five years. We wish him all the best in his future endeavours. Which means we must welcome in a new team member.
