As the global UN Plastics Treaty enters the final stages of negotiations, organizations must rethink single-use plastics, evaluate how to operationalize circularity, and irrevocably shift business models. Companies must go beyond processes and risk management to capitalize on the market opportunity of the circular economy.

In this exclusive webcast, held the day after the conclusion of the latest treaty negotiations, or INC-4, a panel of experts from business, technology, and civil society will discuss what happened there and the implications for packaging suppliers and brands.

Among the things you’ll learn:

The practical implications of INC-4 based on a real-time report-out of the event.
How recycling, reuse and regeneration scenarios impact the ways companies can comply with packaging regulation, operate profitably, and reduce waste.
The business opportunity to end plastic pollution and drive systemic change.

As packaging — and plastics in general — continue to grow as a hot-button issue, this timely webcast will provide the insight and inspiration companies need to move toward more circular models.

Moderator:

Joel Makower, Chairman and Co-founder, GreenBiz Group

Speakers:

Stephen Jamieson, Global Head of Circular Economy Solutions, SAP
Sarah Perreard, Co-CEO & Stakeholder Engagement Lead, Earth Action
Yoni Shiran, Partner, SYSTEMIQ

City of Casey announces community climate action initiative

The City of Casey in Victoria has commenced its Climate Action Living Lab, which aims to harness the collective expertise of a range of partners to address climate challenges for a safer, more sustainable future.

To address these challenges, organisations operating in the climate-ready space were invited to apply for a Climate Action Living Lab grant in August 2024. Following an extensive application process, six organisations have been chosen to partner with the council over the next 12 months to trial solutions for climate action.

City of Casey Mayor Cr Stefan Koomen said the Climate Action Living Lab will focus on three key areas: safety and climate resilience, sustainability and biodiversity, and renewable energy.

“These focus areas align directly with the priorities identified by our community, and we are excited to work with our partners to tackle these challenges head-on,” he said.

The following organisations were selected to be part of the Climate Action Living Lab:  

Monash Climate Change Communication Research Hub: empowering youth for climate action
Royal Botanic Gardens Cranbourne: Raising Rarity – City of Casey school outreach program
Federation University: using UV-C technology to reduce chemical weedicide
Equoia: clean mobile power for a sustainable future
Western Port Catchment Landcare Network: City of Casey a community of bandicoot buddies
Mornington Peninsula and Western Port Biosphere Reserve Foundation: Western Port Koala corridor project
 

“There are some amazing trials happening across the city and I am looking forward to seeing how they progress over the coming months,” Koomen said.
