UK organisation 'SEEBA', the South east environmental business Association is organising a conference in London on 28 June 2001. The conference, 'eco-design for competitive advantage', is aimed specifically at the region's manufacturing industries. It is co-sponsored by SEEBA, the Environment Agency, the Institution of electrical engineers, the printed circuit industry federation and innovation strategy specialists, PERA.

A panel of international speakers, including Professor Ab Stevels of Philips Consumer Electronics (Netherlands), will lead delegates through topics such as eco-product development trends and drivers; lead-free soldering solutions; and eco-design management and the supply chain. UK businesses will be well represented with addresses by senior personnel from Honda and Unipart, amongst others.

SEEBA, an initiative of the Centre for sustainable design based at the Surrey institute of art and design, University College, is a green business club, focused on 'producer responsibility' issues in the electronics, automotive and packaging sectors. Its work is geared exclusively to the needs of business within the region, providing a forum for knowledge exchange and dissemination.
