Panel discussion
Plastic waste, in particular flexible plastic packaging waste, is a worldwide problem that is increasingly hitting the headlines. Although all stakeholders acknowledge that there is a problem, when it comes to taking action they point at one another and wait for someone else to take the first steps.
The panel discussion will focus on viable solutions for the management of flexible plastic packaging waste.
