GO CIRCULAR

The Go Circular Summit is a business-focused event where industry leaders gather to address the core challenges in plastic recycling.

It covers the entire circular value chain of plastic, from brand owners to recycling companies, including the latest regulatory updates.

With the Global Plastics Treaty, PPWR, the Circular Economy Act, and other regulatory shifts, the plastic circular industry faces major changes—making it more important than ever to network and stay updated.

Through this circular plastics platform, we’re empowering the entire value chain to connect, stay informed, and drive progress toward a low-carbon, circular economy.
