ET Polymers|April - May 2019

WHILE PLASTICS CAN PLAY A BIG ROLE IN DRIVING CIRCULAR ECONOMY, THERE IS A STRONG NEED TO ADDRESS THE PLASTICS WASTE CHALLENGE TO IMPROVE THE MATERIAL’S CIRCULARITY. THE RECYCLE CONFERENCE 2019 AIMED TO ADDRESS THESE CHALLENGES AT THE ROOTS.

Key To Circular Economy

The Recycle Conference was organized by AIPMA and PVI 2020 in Greater Noida on March 2, 2019. The Conference was presented by The Economic Times Polymers (ET Polymers) and co-sponsored by Reliance Industries Limited.

The theme of this Conference was: “End Plastic Waste – The key to circular economy!” The circular economy represents an alternative, more sustainable model to the traditional linear economy. A circular economy leads to competitiveness and resource efficiency. While plastics can play a big role in driving circular economy, there is a strong need to address the plastics waste challenge to improve the material’s circularity. This Conference was aimed to address these challenges at the roots.

The conference was inaugurated with a lamp lighting ceremony by the honourable chief guest P. Raghavendra Rao, Secretary (Chemicals & Petrochemicals), DCPC, Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers, Government of India.

At the outset, Meela Jayadev, President AIPMA, briefly addressed the gathering, welcoming all delegates to Recycle Conference 2019. Jayadev then proceeded to outline the agenda for the day and also took the opportunity to thank all the sponsors, media partners & other individuals / organizations that had extended their wholehearted support in organizing the conference. He addressed all the dignitaries as well as the chief guest Shri P. Raghavendra Rao, emphasising that Plastic waste management has emerged as one of the greatest challenges of 21st century.

With increasing awareness about environment protection, plastics waste management is gaining importance and several initiatives are being taken by governments and private organisations for plastics recycling.
