WELCOME Keynote
Future-Proofing Environmental Infrastructure: Innovation, Performance, and the Next Generation of Solutions
Trey Riddle, PhD, IND HEMP
Explore how innovation across materials, design approaches, manufacturing, and environmental stewardship can help position the industry for future growth and compliance. The discussion will examine how evolving policies and market signals are influencing conversations around sustainability, embodied carbon, life-cycle assessment, circularity, and environmental product transparency. These developments present both challenges and opportunities for industries that have historically relied on conventional materials and established practices. leave with a practical framework for evaluating innovation, preparing for regulatory change, and identifying opportunities for sustainable growth while continuing to deliver the performance and reliability their customers expect.
