"Events like Rethinking Materials are a really great opportunity to get up and see what’s in the space. It’s always great to see that trendspotting, you get to see what are the things are people working on and what are the emerging topics."
“Beiersdorf has an ambitious sustainability agenda, so we are keeping an open mind as to solutions and look forward to this event to find collaborators from across the value chain.”
“This event is different as it proposes to bring together players from all different steps of the circular economy and, more importantly, talk about aspects of plastics that are often the “elephant in the room” that no one dares to discuss.”
