Biodegradable plastics are often perceived as environmentally friendly, but how true is this in practice, especially in the cold climatic conditions of Northern Europe and in anaerobic biowaste treatment?

This timely PlastTalk webinar brings together expert voices to explore the realities of plastic biodegradation in biowaste recycling facilities as well as soil and aquatic environments in northern climatic conditions.

It is intended for Nordic and EU policymakers, MPs and stakeholders looking for up-to-date, research-based insights to guide future decision making.

Topics discussed connect to the seven-year Finnish national PlastLIFE project on Re-thinking sustainable recycling of plastics. Co-funded by the EU LIFE programme and running until 2029, PlastLIFE aims to deliver a sustainable circular economy for plastics in Finland by 2035. PlastTalk webinars are organised by the PlastLIFE project coordinator Finnish Environment Institute (Syke).

Join them and get to grips with the risks and opportunities of biodegradable plastics, along with how informed policies can shape sustainable solutions for Europe.

This webinar will take place on Teams at 14.00–15.30 EET/15:00-16:30 CET on 15 December. Registration and programme.
