Experts
The increasing production and consumption of plastics as well as the improper disposal of plastic waste have aroused concern about the sustainable development of plastic industry. According to the official data, in Europe, “almost 26 million tonnes of plastic waste is 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.
Ulla Luhtasela will be speaking about reducing environmental footprint by using recycled plastic fibres in our textiles.
