###Summit Background
According to McKinsey, if plastic demand develops according to current trends, global plastic waste will increase from 260 million tons per year in 2016 to 460 million tons per year by 2030, raising already serious environmental problems to a new level. At present, the world's annual output of plastics exceeds 300 million tons, bringing great convenience to social production and life. At the same time, improper abandonment and low recycling rates have led to serious plastic pollution problems. Climate change and the proposal of carbon neutrality goals are challenging the global plastics industry. Global initiatives to eliminate single-use plastic products and changes in consumer preferences have brought unprecedented business challenges and opportunities to the green and low-carbon transformation of the plastics industry and the circular economy. The next generation of plastics will be produced using sustainable materials and the most advanced manufacturing technologies to meet new regulations and environmental standards.
This summit will invite government agencies, industry experts, and corporate executives in the fields of industrial manufacturing, chemicals, energy, automobiles, daily chemical, medical, electronics, food and beverage to share practical cases from hot topics such as plastic sustainability policy planning, standards, and latest development situations, corporate practice, circular economy, green packaging, plastic recycling, and low-carbon technology solutions. Provide valuable information and technical guidance for plastics companies in achieving sustainable development and low-carbon transformation plans, thereby allowing companies to have a clearer understanding of the latest trends and challenges in the industry, seize opportunities, and respond to adjustments.
