On 23 January 2019 (5:00 PM CET), the OECD is holding a webinar on "Rethinking plastic recycling in a disposable society".
The global production and use of plastics are expected to increase fourfold to 2050 and if the material is poorly managed at the end-of-life, this will potentially result in significantly increased impacts on the environment, especially through marine plastic litter.
How can this scenario be avoided, why are current recycling rates for plastics so low and what can be done to improve them?
Join Peter Börkey of the OECD Environment Directorate to learn more about this pressing issue and the policy responses that are required to address it. The presentation will be based on the OECD report Improving Markets for Recycled Plastics: Trends, Prospects and Policy Responses available here.
