On 19 January 2017, during the New Year’s reception of the NRK (the Dutch Plastic and Rubber Branch) and Plastics Europe Netherlands, Acceleratio was asked to hold up a mirror to the plastics branch and create the sense of urgency and motivation for renewed action in the sector.
Later the “Rethink” plan was launched: a fresh look at plastic and rubber in response to mounting political and social criticism and controversy of how these materials are managed in the chain.
The presentation has lead to a number of articles explaining why business-as-usual is no longer an option for the plastics branch – and why there is a need for a proactive industry that “Rethinks” and “Reinvents”.
