FA24 TUR Conference: Session B Plastics and chemicals

Member states of the United Nations have been working on and debating a treaty designed to address concerns associated with the use and management of plastics worldwide. Issues with plastics go beyond the proliferation of waste plastic found globally and include the very real impacts associated with the use and exposure to chemical additives in plastics throughout their lifecycle. The panel of experts frame the issue and engage in a discussion about what companies can do now to minimize their use of plastics.
Speakers: Bethanie Carney Almroth, Professor of Ecotoxicology at University of Gothenburg; Alex Caterbow, co-Director of HEJsupport; Jenny Gitlitz, Director of Solutions to Plastic Pollution at Beyond Plastics, and Sarah Au, EPA toxicologist.
