This webinar is aimed at highlighting the challenge in delivering and driving behaviour change on plastics recycling through the recycling message. The session will draw on case studies and ask the question ‘how can we better engage citizens, and how can we educate to increase plastics recycling rates and reduce plastics pollution'? The session will also ask if plastics packaging benefits are understood in relation to other less sustainable materials and how can we educate without unintended consequences?

Chaired by Paul Vanston, CEO, INCPEN.
