Plastic Free World Conference & Expo is the must-attend event for anyone looking to reduce their plastic footprints, lower their environmental impacts, minimize their reliance on fossil-based polymers and close the loop at all levels of the supply chain. With the transition to a truly circular economy a central theme, this unique showcase attracts senior-level executives from some of the largest companies in the world of fashion, retail/consumer goods, automotive, packaging, F&B and the hospitality and travel sectors.

Many plastics producers and their suppliers attend, too, acknowledging the success of our holistic approach and, vitally, the need for unprecedented levels of collaboration across the board to address a critical environmental issue and a climate change hazard. Far from being a platform for berating the plastics/oil sector, this cross-industry participation is what makes this event the only one of its kind in the world – a positive platform where novel ideas

are presented and exchanged that have the potential to transform your business as well as the environment.

This year, we have 130 international speakers across five conference tracks, who will discuss the latest models, strategies, materials innovations, future regulations, manufacturing technologies, bio-sourced and renewable solutions and the latest, next-gen technologies to help meet future plastic waste targets and create highly sustainable products accepted by rapidly evolving consumer demands.

In fact, this 2020 conference will feature more than 200 participating companies and experts. If you want to find solutions and innovations to eliminate plastic waste, understand the complexity surrounding new materials, industry regulations and the environmental impacts of plastics – and the alternatives – Plastic Free World is the only event globally where you can find them all under one roof.

The Must-Attend Event For Any Company Working Toward Zero Plastic Waste!

The Plastic Free World Conference 2019 was, for us, a great show to take part in. Attendees were varied, which kept debates challenging and open, with anti-plastic speakers from one end of the spectrum through to plastic manufacturers looking for environmental solutions to their recycling and production models. The presentations were excellent and well curated, and it wasn’t focused on outand- out trade – people weren’t there to sell, they were there to find and create answers to questions around plastic pollution. Aside from attendees, the show itself was superbly run – the information in advance was great, the venue worked well, and the food excellent. As a company we felt looked-after and valued – the team went above and beyond to help us.
