World Plastics Summit

 

see more

The theme of this inaugural summit is: Fostering global collaboration to accelerate plastics recycling and redesign.

The plastics pollution crisis is one of the most urgent challenges of our time. While plastic pollution is a global problem, research and innovation in this area is not yet globally connected. However, the steps to ultimately tackle this problem will necessitate collaboration and perspective on a global scale.To that end, the first annual World Plastics Summit is being organized to assemble international research leaders in plastics recycling and redesign in Monaco. This meeting will be held on March 24-26 at the Novotel Monte Carlo Hotelas part of the prestigiousMonaco Ocean Week 2022.
