The Plastic Free World Conference & Expo was, for us, a great show to take part in. Attendees were varied, which kept debates challenging and open, with anti-plastic speakers from one end of the spectrum through to plastic manufacturers looking for environmental solutions to their recycling and production models. The presentations were excellent and well curated, and it wasn’t focused on outand- out trade – people weren’t there to sell, they were there to find and create answers to questions around plastic pollution. Aside from attendees, the show itself was superbly run – the information in advance was great, the venue worked well, and the food excellent. As a company we felt looked-after and valued – the team went above and beyond to help us.
Plastic Free World Conference & Expo was a pleasant surprise. The organization was impeccable and the set-up quite clever. The companies attending had the common goal of offering sustainable solutions to reduce plastic waste and that’s the perfect environment for us to present our initiatives in renewable plastics and circular economy.
