Symposium on Innovation in the Circularity of Plastic Materials

Are you passionate about sustainability, innovation and tackling the challenges of plastic waste?

The Symposium on Innovation in the Circularity of Plastic Materials is your opportunity to contribute to shaping the future of plastic materials.

It will be an opportunity to share your ideas, discuss theoretical and practical issues and connect with leaders in plastic engineering, science and technology. It will bring together experts, researchers, industry leaders and policy makers to discuss and showcase advances in the recycling, reuse and sustainable production of plastic materials. There will be displays by companies as well.

You are invited to submit your abstracts in order to share innovative ideas, research and practical solutions. Selected papers will be published in a prestigious Springer Nature volume entitled Innovation in the Circularity of Plastic Materials. Please use the abstract template and send it here by 28 February. To read more about the project and stay informed about this event, visit the website.

The event is organised by the BALTIPLAST project with the support of the Baltic University Programme. BALTIPLAST brings technological solutions to help public authorities reduce plastic waste and trigger investments in sustainable sorting and recycling. It is creating practical tools and measures to help individuals, as well as private and public administrations, understand their patterns of consumption and take action to reduce single-use plastic use. This project is co-funded by the Interreg Baltic Sea Region, an EU initiative which fosters transnational cooperation among countries in the Baltic Sea and focuses on priorities such as innovation, water management, climate change adaptation and sustainable transport.

The Symposium will take place in person and in English on 20 May at the Science and Innovation Promotion Centre Science Island in Kaunas, Lithuania.

There is no charge for taking part: please register here. The programme is not yet available.
