Redesigning plastics for circularity

Discover how we can continue benefiting from plastics and enjoying the quality of life they enable.


Plastics are a versatile material for many applications across sectors and a key material for our societies. They keep our food fresh and protect us from injuries in traffic or sports. Plastics even ensure the quality of life through many medical applications.

How can we tackle plastic pollution, greenhouse gas emissions and maintain the societal benefits that plastics offer for developed and emerging societies at the same time?

In this webinar we will share the VTT vision of the circular plastics economy and address the requirements that allow the change from a linear to a sustainable circular economy. We will also give a short overview of available VTT research that enables the vision to come alive.
