Catas participates in the first edition of Interzum Forum Italy

Catas, the leading European laboratory for testing in the furniture and woodworking industry, will be present at the first edition of Interzum Forum Italy, the new biennial exhibition and conference dedicated to the world of subcontracting, to be held in Bergamo on June 6-7. The event will be enriched by a varied program of meetings and debates, during which Catas will offer participants its experience and expertise in the field of sustainability and increasingly stringent European regulations.

Catas representatives will give two presentations at the forum. On June 6, from 11:00, Catas Director Franco Bulian will address the topic "Environmental product certification: requirements of the Italian and international markets". The second day, on June 7, from 13:00, Matilde Ceschia, Head of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) at Catas, will present her contribution entitled "Towards a circular economy: from the Ecodesign Directive to the Digital Product Passport (DPP)".

Director Franco Bulian said that attending the event in Bergamo represents a new opportunity for Catas to be at the service of companies in the context of the profound and challenging changes related to environmental issues. He mentioned the European directive on Green Claims, which aims to combat greenwashing and the proliferation of labels that are not backed by objective data.

Bulian also emphasized the possibility offered by Catas to scientifically measure sustainability, thanks to the international LCA protocol, which can be the basis for a possible EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) certification and allows monitoring and acting on companies' real energy and resource consumption.

Catas will be present throughout the exhibition at stand D1 in pavilion B of Interzum Forum Italy.
