Greenbuild 2010: How does it affect me?

December 8, 2010

Unable to make Greenbuild this year, or unsure of its implications for your business? Join Five Winds, Knauf Insulation, and Armstrong in a webinar discussion of what you might have missed at Greenbuild 2010: what emerging trends will affect product manufacturers, and how should you respond?

In conjunction with this year's theme for Greenbuild, "Generation Green: Redefining Our Future", this webinar will demonstrate current trends and observations highlighted at Greenbuild 2010 and how innovative approaches to product sustainability can improve or "redefine the future" of your sustainable product development strategy.

How are product manufacturers using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to drive their sustainable product development process? How can you use Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) to position yourself as a sustainability leader in the marketplace? How are building product manufacturers using insights from the world's largest expo devoted to green building to influence their sustainable product development?

Armstrong's Anita Snader, Environmental Sustainability Manager, and Knauf's Scott Miller, Director of Sustainability and Product Affairs, will share their unique perspectives and lessons learned from Greenbuild 2010, as well as their impact on their company's ongoing path towards sustainability.

Armstrong and Knauf are key examples of building product manufacturers that have successfully positioned themselves as leading manufacturers within their industries to meet a continually increasing market demand for green building products. Both Armstrong and Knauf have developed product sustainability strategies that drive business value for their companies.
