Plastic to Product: Transforming Waste Into Value

This event is organised by the Swiss Chamber of Commerce and supported by GCC

What if plastic – one of our planet's biggest challenges – could become a catalyst for innovation and economic opportunity? Plastic is everywhere, deeply embedded in our ecosystems, our economies, and our lives. Plastic is projected to outweigh all fish in the ocean by 2050. Studies have not only shown the presence of microplastics in food but also in our brains, with the average brain containing the equivalent weight of a tablespoon of sugar. However, plastic also holds untapped potential to be reimagined from unwanted waste to a purposeful product.

Join us for an inspiring lunch panel exploring how innovation and global collaboration are transforming plastic waste into valuable resources. Hear from pioneers driving change across industries – from sportswear to ocean conservation – as they share how technology, design, and purpose are shaping a cleaner, more sustainable future.

This lunch seminar creates a platform to:

1. Explore and exchange circular economy strategies and scalable solutions for plastic waste
2. Hear from Adidas and other leaders about global projects turning plastic into products
3. Explore corporate innovation and how sustainability can drive business value
4. Highlight the importance of regional collaboration and education in building a sustainable future

Be part of the conversation on driving sustainable innovation, scaling circular economies, and turning plastic into purpose.
