Plastic is everywhere. Its versatility, low weight and low cost have made our lives easier. However, one of its most remarkable properties – its durability – is also its main pitfall when it ends up in the environment.
The increasing business demand for plastics has rapidly expanded the industry in the last 50 years. With packaging being the most common plastics application – amounting to 26% of production – no matter what sector you are in, it is very likely that your product is wrapped in a plastic wrapper or container that may end up in the ocean. This may not be intentional, but it’s a fact.
Ocean plastic pollution is everyone’s fault and everyone’s problem. Therefore, it will require a multi-stakeholder approach to drive the necessary innovation, scale and speed to meet the challenge head on.
In this webinar, we will discuss:
How does plastic end up in the sea? A quick look at the challenge we are facing
What is the role of business in reducing/eliminating plastic pollution?
Which sectors are leading, and lagging, on ocean plastic pollution prevention?
How are NGO campaigns and tactics evolving?
What do effective partnerships, that actually prevent ocean plastics pollution at scale, look like in practice?
Speakers:
Kirstie McIntyre, director, global sustainability operations, HP
Adam Hall, head of sustainability, Surfdome
Will McCallum, head of oceans, Greenpeace UK
Moderated by: Ian Welsh, publishing director, Innovation Forum
During the webinar, listeners will have the opportunity to send in questions to the panel. Once again, you can sign up here:http://bit.ly/2xDI44D
