The world is taking action to limit the flood of plastic waste that is polluting our rivers and oceans and harming wildlife and human health. The United Nations is pursuing a global treaty on plastic waste with the goal of reducing single use plastics and keeping plastics out of the environment. The treaty carries enormous implications for a range of industry sectors and government operations, and policy makers, researchers and business leaders are already at work on ways to replace plastics, encourage their reuse and improve recycling. Our panel of experts from industry and academia will explain the treaty’s impact and how some companies and communities are moving beyond plastic waste and toward a circular economy that keeps plastics in their proper place.   See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
