Why Attend
Governments everywhere are looking to the electric vehicle (EV) as a means to rapidly reduce carbon emissions, clean up our cities and tackle climate change. But while banning the manufacture of petrol or diesel cars, as the UK hopes to do in 2030, seems like a simple move, transitioning to electric vehicles is complex. It will require the UK’s automotive industry to undergo a rapid gear change as it works hard to innovate the required new technologies and materials that can increase the number of EVs on the roads and uptake by consumers.
With the Biden administration in the USA proposing $100 billion USD of investment into EV rebates and China already leading the way with incentivisation - being responsible for over 50% of Electric vehicle production in 2019 – the automotive supply chain in the EU and around the world are on standby for sudden regulatory change that could impact its manufacturing processes.
The Sustainable Electric Vehicle (EV) Design – with plastics and composites conference will bring together all those who are passionate about innovating in e-mobility to lightweight vehicles, reduce range anxiety, accelerate consumer demand and support the achievement of government regulation and targets from across the UK, Europe, USA, Asia and beyond. This event will reveal the current level of global progress towards lightweight material integration; design for recycling and EV battery recycling as well as demonstrate how you can overcome the technical, design and engineering challenges that emerge with the transition from creating combustion engine to electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.

Afera
Website: www.afera.com
Why Tape?
Engineers often turn to traditional fixings, such as rivets, screws, nuts and bolts, staples, clips and liquid adhesives to join 2 substrates without knowing that they have an often better alternative in tape.
Tape is increasingly the hidden driver of product innovation in many applications and industries
Adhesive tapes can be virtually weightless and invisible, don’t weaken or fail and don’t stain or corrode, even in extreme conditions. They can also provide functionalities such as sealing, damping, insulating, shielding, conducting electricity and communicating critical information.
With tape, products like cars and other vehicles, smart phones and flat screens, appliances, windows and architectural panels, and biomedical electrodes and I.V. dressings, to name a few, can be made thinner, lighter and using fewer and less expensive materials.
Bringing adhesive tape professionals and suppliers to the automobile industry together
Afera is widely known and valued as the go-to community of the European tape industry for both industry and non-industry stakeholders. Stakeholders connect within the Association to address current and future key topics, which individual stakeholders cannot tackle themselves.
From 29 September to 1 October 2021, Afera will hold our 64th Annual Conference, the premier meeting point for all those interested in the European adhesive tape industry, its players and technologies, held face-to-face in Valencia, Spain. During this well-concentrated 2-day event focussed on tapes in a circular economy, Afera’s Conference will provide over 100 tape-related professionals with the opportunity to interact with industry leaders, sales and technology drivers and field-expert speakers.
