Spray Patterns BY AVA CARIDAD Editorial Director 38 Spray January 2015 The Hong Kong Society of Cosmetic Chemists (HKSCC) Cosmetic Innovation Summit was held in November at the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Center. The Summit was co-hosted by Hong Kong Cosmetic Technical Resources Center and Beijing ICJDC Ltd. Co., and was largely supported by Cosmoprof Asia, IFSCC’s International Speaker Program and InvestHK. Mark Rivers, VP, Technical Services at Aeropres Corp., catches the football of leadership at the Consumer Specialty Products Association (CSPA) Annual Meeting in Ft. Lauderdale, FL in December. Bill Wood, President of Faultless Starch, bequeathed his responsibilities as Chairman of the Aerosol Division to Rivers with the symbolic pass. Representatives of The Consumer Aerosol Products Council (CAPCO) recently exhibited at the 2014 National Resource Recycling Conference in New Orleans, LA. It was the second time that CAPCO attended the event that brings together professionals throughout the recycling industry, including material recovery facility (MRF) operators, waste haulers, equipment suppliers and recycling coordinators for local municipalities. Also in attendance were some of CAPCO’s key partners, the Steel Recycling Institute (SRI) and Keep America Beautiful. CAPCO was able to make connections with new organizations to further its goals of increasing awareness about the recyclability of aerosol products among consumers; getting more recycling programs to accept empty aerosol products; and communicating its acceptance more consistently on carts and bins, waste-hauler and municipality websites and via other educational outlets.
