ALPLA launches dialogue about the benefits of plastic

Plastic can protect the climate and provide for the world. With its #daskannkunststoff (‘PlasticCanDoThis’) campaign, packaging and recycling specialist ALPLA is committed to a fact-based view of the recyclable material among the public. On 9th October, the company invited guests from the worlds of politics, business and academia to Berlin for a dialogue. They discussed the goals, challenges and solutions for the circular economy of the future.

‘Climate protection and prosperity depend on an efficient, circular plastics economy. It requires innovative technologies, industrial pioneers, appreciation of the material and awareness amongst people. We want to contribute at all levels,’ emphasised host Georg Pescher, managing director of ALPLA DE-BE-NL. Roughly 100 people accepted the invitation to participate in the dialogue at the Alte Münze venue in Berlin-Mitte. At it, the themes of ‘Recycle, Reduce, Reuse and Replace’ were made a spectacle, with spherical structures symbolising molecules and polymers as part of an informative exhibition.
