The modern world cannot deny the enormous contribution of plastics to social and economic sustainability, which has led to countless employment opportunities and trade transactions. Its lightweight, durable and mouldable properties have also helped many end-users (such as packaging, automotive, electronics, construction, etc.) to offer potential in terms of saving energy consumption, extending service life, and irregular and creative design.
However, the increasing production and consumption of plastics as well as the improper disposal of plastic wast have aroused concern about the sustainable development of plastic industry. According to the official data, in Europe, “almost 26 million tonnes of plastic waste generated every year, around 80% of marine litter is plastic, 87% of Europeans are worried about the impact of plastic products on the environment” . As concerns over environmental impact, plastic pollution, and resource depletion intensify, the need for collective action and innovative solutions has never been more critical. Actions must be taken by the industry stakeholders to jointly improve the adverse impact of plastics on the environment and health.
The 2nd European Sustainable Plastics Summit 2024 (ESPS 2024) will gather key stakeholders, industry leaders, policymakers, and experts from across the plastics value chain, aiming to be a catalyst for positive change by fostering collaboration, innovation, and actionable insights to address the challenges and opportunities in reshaping the future of plastics.
