The Case for Sustainable Plastics: How Changing Dynamics Spark Innovation

Partnerships across the supply chain—with organizations sharing similar sustainability values to deliver bio-renewability, compostability and recyclability—help the packaging industry move toward reducing waste and becoming a circular economy.

Join Sun Chemical’s Dr. Nikola Juhasz to examine how printers and their partners together can:

  • Minimize pollution and waste
  • Extend product lifecycles
  • Enable sharing of assets
  • Keep resource usage within planetary boundaries

Dr. Juhasz’s presentation will also focus on extended producer responsibility programs, single-use plastics prohibitions, and the Association of Plastic Recycler’s Global Design Catalog; plus adherence to the 5Rs framework: reuse, reduce, renew, recycle and redesign. It’s all about how innovation enables circularity.
