AIHA's Product Stewardship Society is pleased to announce John
Warner and Linda Lee, PhD, as the opening and closing keynote
speakers at PSX 2024, the society’s annual meeting being held
October 15-17 in Denver, Colorado. The Society is the leading
association for product stewardship and sustainability
professionals.
John Warner is one of Green Chemistry’s original founders,
having coauthored the book which defines it and its 12 principles
with Paula Anastas in 1998. As an industrial chemist, he has
produced over 350 patents, worked with hundreds of companies
worldwide, and serves on the sustainability advisory boards of
several multinational companies. Warner will deliver the opening
keynote on October 15, addressing the history and background of
Green Chemistry and discussing opportunities for the next
generation of materials designers to create a safer and more
sustainable future.
Linda S. Lee, PhD, is a Purdue University Professor in Agronomy,
College of Agriculture Assistant Dean of Research and Graduate
Education, Professor in Environmental and Ecological Engineering,
and Program Head for the Ecological Sciences and Engineering
Interdisciplinary Graduate Program. For two decades, she has
pioneered research on emerging “compounds of concern,” with much of
her work focused on called per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances
(PFAS). In her October 17 closing keynote, she will address the
viability and best management strategies of emerging, alternative,
yet still problematic, “still-PFAS” substances that are replacing
phased out or banned PFAS, as well as the paradigm shift in our
thinking to other types of alternatives.
“We’re thrilled to welcome John Warner and Dr. Linda Lee as our
keynote speakers at this year’s conference,” said Larry Sloan, CEO
of AIHA’s Product Stewardship Society. “Their perspectives on these
critical topics will provide a wealth of knowledge for product
stewards and support our vision of a world of safe, trusted, and
sustainable products.”
Since its 2014 debut, PSX has become the most comprehensive
leadership forum for strategies that guide product stewardship
professionals in an ever-changing global economy. The focus of the
conference is to provide attendees with the latest trends in
education, valuable solutions to their daily challenges, and
networking opportunities to deepen their knowledge and
relationships.
