This morning, we had breakfast with our luggage beside us. Indeed, this day’s activities marked the end of the PhD trip. Two feelings could be read on faces: feeling of joy because we were to find again our home abandoned for 11 days and feeling of discontent because of the end of a PhD trip so rich in scientific exchange and useful information. After the breakfast, we visited Zurich ECOLAB premises where we were welcomed at 9:00 am by Mr. Andrew Sedgwick, the Segment Marketing Director. After a short presentation of agenda, Mr. Andrew Sedgwick gave an introduction about ECOLAB focusing on the Renewable Antimicrobial Coating (RAC). The markets served by ECOLAB are:- Foodservice
