She will be joining other speakers in the event 'Plastic Pollution and Solutions - Interactions between Science, Policy, Industry and Society', on the 6th September from 11:00am – 12:30pm.Organised by the Climate and Environmental Research Institute (NILU), this session will focus on scientific, societal and political aspects of plastics and plastic pollution. Plastic as a resource will be discussed, through the example of material-flow analysis and insights from the plastic industry. The possibilities of research to support decision makers in implementing science-based policy approaches will be examined, as well as the costs of relevant measures to reduce plastic pollution versus the costs plastic pollution exerts on our society. Stakeholders from industry, social sciences, environmental sciences and governmental institutions are invited to participate in this session.
