The 6th Plasticity Forum – “Designing for the Future – Plastic and the Circular Economy”
The 6th Plasticity will be held in London as part of the London Design Festival on September 21st. Early Bird Registration ends on September 2nd.
Held most recently this past spring in Shanghai, the event brings together experts from across the plastics spectrum to discuss innovation and the dynamics of scaling processes, materials and recycling to reduce waste and create value.
Plasticity is a unique event, bringing global experts from across the plastic spectrum to share experiences on opportunities and challenges with plastic sustainability and inclusion in the circular economy, thus bringing about the large scale changes that are required in order to reduce its waste impacts. The event will offer “a big conversation on the future of plastic,” and discuss where opportunities can be created related to recycled content, resource recovery, job creation and waste reduction.
The event is positioned as part of the London Design Festivalbecause frequently design community is not at the table regarding sustainability discussions, options and opportunities. They therefore may not realize all of the issues and complexities which are associated with plastic vis-à-vis materials, processes and recycled content which could make big impacts in reducing the waste footprint associated with plastic products.
Some of the global expert speakers in this uniquely focused event, which covers a wide spectrum of topics within the plastic space, include Mr. Chris Grantham, Circular Economy Portfolio Director from one of the world’s leading design companies, IDEO, Mr. Peter Lacy, Global Managing Director of Sustainability Services at Accenture, Mr. Willem De Vos, CEOof the Society of Plastics Engineers, and Mr. Simon Widmer, Project Manager – Circular Design, Ellen MacCarthur Foundation.
