With organizations like PepsiCo and others missing targets on plastic reduction and the use of recycled plastic content, is there hope for the plastics crisis? This panel looks at the role of policy, laws, and regulation in the creation and enforcement of a circular economy that addresses the root of the plastics crisis. The panel will uncover the role of nonprofits, corporations, and government in developing strategies and addressing the crisis through systemic change.
