This webinar focuses on how concerns over environmental quality and human health are driving innovations in materials use and government policies, and on how economic considerations, consumer preferences, and differences in national and international agreements moderate the trajectory and geographical coverage of innovative solutions.

The presentations will be privately recorded September 27th, 2007, and then made available for download and playback by registrants immediately afterward. Presenters will be available for questions and comments through a discussion board hosted by the Lead-Free Solder Community of Materials Technology@TMS. To keep the interactivity element of the event intact, webinar presenters will monitor this discussion for two months after the event and respond to postings/discussions that may appear as appropriate.
