The Imagine Better Series: Addressing Single Use Plastics During a Pandemic
Channel: Solutions House
Date: 2020-12-15

At the beginning of the pandemic we saw a return to plastic packaging in the name of health and safety. But as we have settled into new ways of living, addressing single-use plastic waste is back on the agenda for businesses and individuals. No longer are we disposing of our plastic waste across our commutes and at the office but are seeing it pile up in our homes. In a recent survey by Futerra and OnePulse, we found that the actions people are most willing to make to be more sustainable is to ‘waste less’ and ‘avoid plastic’. 

Although many businesses have temporarily halted efforts to make progress against commitments to reduce single-use plastics in their operations and products, others are seeing this as an opportunity to help their consumers to reduce their plastic consumption through new materials, processes, and systems. In this digital event, we will explore how different types of organizations are addressing single-use plastics to ensure health, safety, and sustainability.

In this webinar, Futerra Group CEO Lucy Shea will be joined by Archana Jagannathan, Senior Director of Sustainable Packaging at PepsiCo, and Dave Muenz. Senior Vice President of ESG at Kao Corporation to discuss how each of their organizations are tackling single-use plastic packaging amidst the pandemic.
