Plastics are ending up in landfills, being burned and leaking into the environment. The circular economy approach for plastics endeavours to keep plastic items within a system in order to benefit the economy, society and the environment. This presentation will outline the challenges involved and how companies are approaching this effort by innovations in materials, packaging design and technologies.
