Navigating the Plastics Landscape: Discussions to Inform Sustainable Plastics Policy

11 Sep 2024
Packaging & EPR Stage
Net-Zero , Sustainability , Circular Economy , Waste & Recycling

This panel discussion, chaired by Robyn Macpherson from the University of Birmingham, and drawing on points raised in the University of Birmingham Sustainable Plastics Policy Commission, will delve into the essential conversations required to work towards the implementation of sustainable plastics policy in the UK.

What opportunities does the UK have to be leaders in this space, and how do we enable this? What role does chemical recycling have in the future of circularity? How do existing measures such as DRS and EPR need to evolve to support an effective transition to circularity? And what is the role of industry, and even academia, in all of this?
