For 30 years, the West has believed that by separating our waste into colored bins, we can live a life of fast consumption without worrying about the planetary impact, that as 'recyclers,' we were doing our part.
However, that fantasy began to unravel last year as a combination of China’s waste ban, mixed with images of ocean plastics, brought the realities front and center.
In China, a sober understanding of the challenges was recognized long ago. In contrast to its Western peers, China began to move quickly to create regulations, engage citizens and invest in processes and innovations that will take this fight to the next level.
Join M Talks to learn from industry insiders and innovators, who will speak about their work to capture resources before they are waste and put them back to use.
The panelists will be announced at a later date.
