STEPS towards sustainable plastics
The conference “STEPS Towards Sustainable Plastics” will present insights from national and international speakers and organisations on the various aspects for a sustainable plastic system such as decoupling plastic production from fossil resources.
For over a decade, concerns about the problems with the widespread use of plastics and its disposal into the environment, have been growing. Inspite of the many economic and environmental benefits provided by plastics, these materials have come to be seen in a negative light. Nevertheless, this has created a much-needed momentum for taking on the many challenges of the current plastic system such as climate impacts of fossil-based plastic materials, a low degree of reuse and recycling, and microplastics in the environment through research and development and innovation for transition to a sustainable plastics system.
The conference “STEPS Towards Sustainable Plastics” will present insights from national and international speakers and organisations on the various aspects for a sustainable plastic system such as decoupling plastic production from fossil resources, polymer and plastic design, recycling methods, policies and governance for a circular plastics economy.
