## Resource

Plastics are everywhere – but can they ever be truly sustainable?

From the familiar mantra of reduce, reuse, recycle to innovative strategies that go far beyond recycling, this conversation dives into what it takes to create a sustainable future for plastics and how waste can become a resource.
