Nearly 120 plastics officials came together at Sustain '08 to learn green best practices and discuss sustainability issues that directly affect the bottom line. Two dozen experts in both sustainable business and the plastics industry led sessions covering topics such as green design, marketing and greenwashing, energy management, supply-chain consequences and the impact on end markets such as healthcare devices, electronics, automotive, construction and packaging.

Catch the flavor of the event here, with available speaker presentations, plus news coverage, a slide show and a 12-part video series based on speaker presentations and interviews. Opening keynoter Andrew Winston, co-author of the best-selling book "From Green to Gold," gave a powerful talk on what works — and what doesn't — when going green. He is the subject of the first video interview. Watch this site or Plastics News' Multimedia section for a new Sustain '08-related video every Tuesday until mid-February.
