Eurobitume Deutschland’s 3rd Bavarian Breakfast event a success

Europe |

On 13 February, approximately 40 people from Eurobitume member companies and Eurobitume Deutschland‘s stakeholders and partners came to Eurobitume‘s 3rd Bavarian Breakfast. This took place in Berchtesgaden, Germany, during the biennial Deutsche Asphalttage (German Asphalt Days) conference – organised by DAV (the German Asphalt Association).

Attendees heard Eurobitume President Markus Spiegl and Eurobitume Deutschland Manager Anja Sörensen give an overview of what Eurobitume has accomplished on behalf of its members in the two years since the last Bavarian Breakfast. This included jointly organising the successful inaugural E&E Event in Berlin in 2018, creating a series of Technical Information Sheets, to provide practical advice about specific test methods, and adding to the wealth of HSE information and guidance. As well as an updated Life Cycle Inventory, an H2S pocket guide and updated Safe Delivery Guides, Eurobitume has produced additional language versions of a number of existing documents.

They also spoke about Eurobitume’s focus upon sustainability, the creation of the Bitumen Sustainability Steering Group and the Task Force Use of Secondary Materials in Bitumen.

Looking ahead, attendees were given an interesting insight into the forthcoming 7th E&E Congress, which takes place in Madrid on 12-14 May, 2020, and heard about the next E&E Event which will be held in 2022 in Vienna.
