The PlastTalk webinar series brings together individuals interested in the circular economy of plastics. We highlight current phenomena and disseminate good circular economy practices. The speakers are researchers and experts in the circular economy, and each webinar features interesting circular economy actors and practical examples.
The PlastTalk webinar series, open to everyone, is organized by the PlastLIFE project. The webinar introductions are recorded and the recordings are available on this page for two weeks after the webinar. The webinars are hosted on Teams. The Finnish Environment Institute reserves the right to make changes to the program.
