Future of Plastics — Plastic Innovations and Technologies
How business can tackle plastics pollution, drive collaboration, and find solutions that deliver change
200+ attendees | 15+ practical sessions | 40+ speakers
This significant annual sustainability in packaging conference brings together key industry players from across the value chain for a series of interactive working groups and conference sessions.
Over the course of three days we’ll take a deep dive into how companies are tackling plastics pollution and meeting targets. We will look at a range of plastic innovations and technologies which are working towards plastic reductions. The forum will focus on practical and realistic solutions that are sustainable, innovative and scalable. The objective of the conference is to drive progress that works for consumers, the environment, utility and business reality.
It is well known that plastics use — and therefore impact — has increased during the ongoing pandemic. Companies can easily be blamed. Although the true picture is highly complex, businesses are under increasing pressure from all sides to go further and faster to reduce their plastics footprint. To start the conference we will have experts cover the key drivers for change. We will focus on: Consumer insights, NGO perspectives, Policy pressures and Human health impacts.
