Rethinking Materials - Agenda

This keynote examines how the August 2025 global plastics treaty talks marked a pivotal shift in materials policy and set a new direction for the circular economy. It explores decision-making models beyond consensus and how companies can leverage policy change to drive innovation, leadership, and accountability across supply chains. Delegates are challenged to look beyond today’s regulatory milestones toward a low-carbon, regenerative materials economy by mid-century - and to identify the decisions needed now to make that vision real.
