At VERGE 2022, the U.S. Plastics Pact and Walmart announced the winners of the first Sustainable Packaging Innovation Award, showing exciting innovations in the areas of recyclability, compostability, refill and reuse. The importance of circular solutions is twofold: keeping plastic out of the environment and reducing emissions associated with creating virgin packaging materials. In an hour-long webinar, Greenbiz’s Jon Smieja will chat with leaders from the U.S. Pact, Walmart and the four winners to go deeper into their innovations and how they can help accelerate the circular transition. Among the topics they will cover:
- Considering the consumer experience when designing for circularity
- Areas where we urgently need circular solutions
- Getting circularity to scale
Tune in to learn about these exciting innovations and why addressing plastic waste must be a critical component of every business’s climate action strategy.
