Moving from a Linear to a Circular Economy

For circularity to happen, we need to ensure that there is an optimisation of all points within the plastic value chain from the front-end design … to collection and the recycling, and unless all these paths are optimised, we are not going to be successful in moving into a circular economy. Steve will share about the Alliance’s strategy and priorities in driving a circular economy and call for actions on how companies from across the industries can collaborate together.
