The conference "Avanzando hacia una gestión sostenible de los materiales plásticos y de sus residuos" [Moving towards a sustainable management of plastic materials and their waste], jointly organised by the Reciplasa Chair in Urban Waste Management and the UBE Chair in Sustainable Plastics of the Universitat Jaume I, was attended by specialists from the plastics sector, who highlighted the need to research and rethink the uses of plastic for the improvement of society.

The session, which was opened by the Vice-Rector for Research, Jesús Lancis; the President of Reciplasa, Ignasi García, and the Director of Human Resources, HSE, Quality Assurance and Product Stewardship at UBE, Santiago Bretón, opened new lines of reflection in the field of sustainable waste management.

The first talk was given by Gemma Arroyo from Ecoembes, in which she addressed the eco-design of plastic packaging and ecomodulation. Next, Teresa Martínez from SINTAC spoke about plastics and the circular economy and stressed the importance of moving towards the sustainable management of these materials. She also referred to concepts such as circularity, sustainability, social responsibility and the importance from eco-design to the end of the useful life of products, i.e. investment and resource savings.

The third talk was given by Raül Sangrós, R&D director at UBE and co-director of the UBE Chair in Sustainable Plastics, in which he stressed the importance of reducing the environmental impact of human activity. After that, María Vicente García, from Considera, analysed the new regulations on plastic materials, highlighting the importance of the regulatory aspect in the control and impact that plastic materials have on the environment.

Luis Cabedo, professor at the UJI and director of the UBE Chair, gave the last talk on bioplastics, in which he highlighted the complexity and the transformations that should be applied to reduce plastic waste.

This was followed by a round table discussion, moderated by the environmental journalist María Josep Picó and made up of the five speakers and the Director General of Environmental Quality and Education of the Generalitat Valenciana, Joan Piquer, which opened the way for new reflections on the need for this type of debate and the importance of collaboration between the different agents and society as a whole.

The round table addressed the problem of plastics and the need to promote its sustainable use and proper management through scientific dissemination and greater awareness of manufacturers, citizens and administration, because they not only affect health, quality of life and the present environment, but also future generations.

The closing ceremony was led by the Regional Minister for Agriculture, Rural Development, Climate Emergency and Ecological Transition, Mireia Mollà Herrero.
