EDI Forum 2023, a great success
5/10/2023
The beginning of October brought with itself an incredibly special occasion: the EDI Forum 2023.
This highly specialized event centered around the decontamination of hazardous substances, has reunited the professionals of the industry in Brussels on October 4th.
POPs and asbestos, main topics of discussion
In order to provide our guests with a more interactive encounter, the EDI Forum 2023 was conducted in the form of two round tables.
After brief introductions, we began with our first topic: Persistent Organic Pollutants, POPs. Ms Polina Maslova, from CURIUM, acted as a moderator, while speakers from different countries entities – among them, the European Commission, talked about its current state. As POPs manifest their contaminating nature with time, we are still discovering new substances.
Once the coffee break was over, we delved straight into our next question: Asbestos. Moderated by Mr Ad Schaap, VERAS, it discussed the current regulations and the ways of moving forward.
Overall, the Forum concluded with the knowledge that there are still many substances to discover. Decisions made half a decade ago are only starting to have repercussions now. Therefore, we need to study it carefully to ensure a safe, hazardous-free, future.
Both round tables were intercut with moments of networking. During those, the industry professionals had the opportunity to connect with each other.
Our next destination is already set!
We would like to extend our gratitude to the speakers, attendees and sponsors of the EDI Forum 2023. Your presence and enthusiasm are the driving forces that push the decontamination industry forward.
The EDI Secretariat hopes that you enjoyed the meeting and hopes to see you again at the EDA Annual Convention 2024 in Belgrade, Serbia, from June 13th to 15th!
