Why the urgency and how do we create long-term solutions?

In less than a century, plastics have become an essential part of our lives. Due to their affordability and versatility, the use of plastics in products keeps increasing, yet they are extremely challenging to recycle and have an uncanny tendency to end up in oceans and on our beaches. During this webinar, we will explore what plastics are from a chemical perspective and how that drives both their wide-spread use, contributes to climate change and why companies struggle with integrating recycled plastics. We’ll review both current and future recycling systems and why there are calls to reduce reduce the amount of primary plastics produced and shift to more reusables.
