The Plastic Matters event, organized by essenscia PolyMatters and Denuo, takes place at a critical moment for the European plastics sector, which is facing mounting pressure from rising costs, regulatory demands, and increasing global competition. Yet, the transition to a circular economy in plastics remains essential. This edition is designed as a platform to jointly explore solutions that can strengthen the sector\u2019s resilience, accelerate circular practices, learn from peers, and ensure that Belgium remains at the forefront of circularity in plastics.<\/p>\n
