Beyond the construction and recycling of the container, there
are many other areas where we can collaborate, including the
manufacturing of aerosol products (wouldn’t we all like alternative
methodologies to the hot water bath test anyway?) and
harmonizing the requirements to transport an aerosol product (ecommerce
is a market driving force…shouldn’t an aerosol product
that can ship on the ground be able to also ship in the air?).
The reality is, the global aerosol industry can align in a number
of places; the plastic aerosol segment being just one option. In the
end, it doesn’t matter where we begin, but that we actually do so.
The ILC is a great opportunity for this collaboration to start.
The next ILC meeting will be hosted by European Aerosol
Federation (FEA) at its 2020 Global Aerosol Event in Lisbon,
Portugal in September. Following that, HCPA will host the 2021
ILC meeting at its Annual Meeting in Fort Lauderdale, FL in
December 2021.
No matter where in the world you are, the aerosol industry
wants the same thing: for consumers and workers to have safe, effective
aerosol products that benefit their daily lives. By designing
and manufacturing safe and effective aerosol products, the aerosol
industry will continue to grow and thrive.
If you would like more information about the ILC or global
aerosol collaborations, please contact me at ngeorges@thehcpa.org.
