Plastics Circularity : The Role of Finance in Finding Solutions through the Plastics Value Chain
11:00 – 12:30
Centre International de Conférences Genève - Room B
Plastics are ubiquitous in our lives. They are versatile, resistant, lightweight, and low cost. That is why their production has grown by 400 times since 1950. Unfortunately, poor life cycle management has led to widespread pollution and environmental damage. Circularity, improved design, and substitution could be part of the solution. An expert panel will discuss the catalytic powers of finance in scaling new solutions to end plastic waste.
Our conference will be co-hosted by Patrick Odier, Senior Managing Partner and Jean-Pascal Porcherot, Managing Partner of Lombard Odier. They have the pleasure to invite Mark Schneider, CEO at Nestlé; Jacob Duer, President and CEO at Alliance To End Plastic Waste (AEPW) and Professor Jean-Pierre Danthine, Managing Director at E4S and Kristin Hughes, Director of the Resource Circularity Pillar at the World Economic Forum (WEF) to discuss the catalytic powers of finance in scaling new solutions to end plastic waste.
