4. - 6. september går World Resource Forum 2023 av stabelen i Geneve. Som en del av arrangementet er det også lagt opp til flere digitale diskusjoner og presentasjoner. Den 6. september kl. 11.00 - 12.30 arrangerer NILU et av disse webinarene. Tittelen er “Plastic pollution and solutions - interactions between science, policy, industry and society”, og som tittelen sier, vil webinaret belyse plastforurensing og løsninger fra ulike perspektiv. NCMT vil i webinaret være aktøren som formidler det industrielle perspektivet med utgangspunkt i norsk plast- og komposittindustri.

This online session of the World Resource Forum 2023 will focus on scientific, societal and political aspects of plastics and plastic pollution. Plastic as a resource will be discussed, through the example of material-flow analysis and insights from the plastic industry. The possibilities of research to support decision makers in implementing science-based policy approaches will be examined, as well as the costs of relevant measures to reduce plastic pollution versus the costs plastic pollution exerts on our society. Stakeholders from industry, social sciences, environmental sciences and governmental institutions are invited to participate in this session.
