Circularity in Plastics & Recycling

About the Conference

In recent times, growing consumerism has led to increased use of plastics, witnessing multi-fold growth. Most of this plastic is single-use, generating tonnes of waste. This waste is reaching landfills and causing increased air and water pollution, which will eventually harm human health.

With growing awareness and a need to address the wastage issues, manufacturers are now actively focusing on plastic recycling. Moreover, stricter regulations, corporate sustainability commitments, advances in recycling technologies, and an increasing demand for recycled, alternative materials are paving the way for a more comprehensive circular economy.
