TLMI Partners With Labelexpo For EcoStage TLMI is partnering with Tarsus in creating an EcoStage, Powered by TLMI, at Labelexpo Americas September 13-15 in Rosemont, Illinois. The EcoStage will be located at booth #3220 and over the course of the show’s three days, speakers and thought leaders will deliver presentations that discuss critical sustainability issues. Sixteen speak- ers have committed to presenting on the EcoStage and presentations will kick off every hour, on the hour. Admission to the EcoStage is free for all show attendees. Presentation highlights include several sessions led by Convergen Energy, a provider of re- newable fuels for power generation facilities. Con- vergen helps manufacturers across industries avoid sending byproducts to landfill in addition to help- ing companies reduce fossil fuel usage and meet sustainability goals. Convergen’s CEO, Ted Hansen, will be giving a presentation all three days on the EcoStage, discussing converters’ non-landfill op- tions for matrix and flexible packaging waste. Other EcoStage highlights include Emily Tipaldo, Executive Director at U.S. Plastics Pact. U.S. plastics pact is a solutions-driven consortium with more than 100 diverse businesses and organizations across the plastics value chain working to rethink the way our industry designs, uses, and reuses plastics to create a path forward toward a more circular economy. The Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) will also be presenting on the EcoStage, discussing the ways that labels are currently impacting recyclabil- ity and on the show’s first day, executives from Re- source Label Group and Brook & Whittle will be discussing the current sustainability status of differ- ent brands and how to address label buyers’ unique sustainability goals.
