Webinar: what challenges and opportunities do participants experience

During the webinar, the various project partners of PlastiCity in Ghent zoomed in on their role in the project and the assets in the Ghent region: a local and European policy with attention to clean technology and the circular economy, Ghent University as a unique knowledge partner specializing in the recycling of plastics in the CAPTURE initiative, and cooperation with pioneering business partners. You can view the presentation of the webinar in its entirety. We also gave all participants the opportunity to share their experiences.

 

Opportunities and threats

The companies want to commit to more plastic recycling out of their social and sustainable responsibility and to anticipate future legislative changes. But it is a complicated story for which they do not always have the necessary infrastructure and there is still insufficient knowledge of the relevant technology.
