Minderoo Foundation invites you to join a lively discussion on balancing consumer trends towards plastic and the emerging health impacts. How significant of an influence is "reuse" having on the actions of consumers, and does it represent the best solution to deal with an excessive reliance on plastics made from fossil fuels? We'll discuss the current position of the EU on reuse in front of expert panels and explore how our opinions and strategies might be influenced by the growing body of evidence that links some plastics to severe harm to both planetary and human health.
