Spotlight on Solutions (Inclusion)

Theme Overview

Inclusion across the plastic value chain entails the empowerment of marginalised groups and communities. Spotlighted solutions under the inclusion theme have advanced circularity with the principle of inclusivity built into their operations. Not only have these solutions alleviated the environmental consequences of plastic pollution, but they have also sought to optimise social equity.
