Webinar December 14th 2021 at 4 pm CET A Trioworld Webinar A linear economy business model is simple. Buy a raw material, process to a product, put on the market and you are done with it. But is it really that simple? The need for standards and definitions is an ongoing process during the approximately 100 years of development that have taken place since plastics was invented. And the construction of these standards is essential for the development of a circular economy for plastics. They will generate a reliable and trustworthy transfer for all stakeholders in the value chain. To put it simply; the standards can be explained as the foundation, the walls and the roof of the “house” where the plastic industry will define our technical platform with the new criteria following this transfer. In this webinar we will take a more detailed look at the structure of standardisation, what current activities are being undertaken and how will this affect your industry the coming year. Key take aways After listening to this webinar, you will understand how circularity will affect your business and how standardisation will be the tool to fulfil market demands.
