The use of plastics has become an integral part of our society. Plastic has great advantages compared to other materials: for example, it is strong, light, non-fragile and can be used in may different ways. Plastics have become indispensable in industry and commerce, construction, packaging and consumer products. Legislation however looks critically at the use of plastics and damage they might cause to eco-systemens by ending up as litter or the presence of (historic) SVHC.

- How can I produce as cost-efficiently as possible?
- How does circular economy impact the plastics world?
- How to finance a good (plastics) idea?
- Who can help me in turning a great idea into a good product?
