Plastics industry involvement in treaty talks crucial, executives say.

Three executives emphasized the importance of industry involvement in the plastics treaty talks during a panel discussion at NPE2024. They highlighted various priorities, including encouraging innovation, promoting circularity through recycling, expanding access to waste management infrastructure, and supporting recycled-content mandates for plastic products.

The negotiations aim to conclude in South Korea in November. [Extracted from the article]
