Plasticity focuses on the next life of plastics

摘要

Plasticity Forum, the one-day event examining the future of plastic, was held on June 24 at Tribeca Rooftop in New York, bringing together would-be opponents for a day of collaboration and discussion on how to treat plastic as a resource and not waste. The third annual event moved to the United States for the first time, after an inaugural conference in Rio de Janeiro at the 2012 Rio+20 Earth Summit and a 2013 event in Hong Kong. A project of the Ocean Recovery Alliance and the Republic of Everyone, the Plasticity Forum aims to bring together leaders to collaborate to help scale up some of the great solutions now coming to market, the organizers say, and to showcase sustainable solutions and market opportunities for transforming all types of plastic "one through seven" into a valuable resource.
