Plastics News Live: Inside Washington

Thursday, April 09, 2020

Single-use plastic bans, preemption laws, trade policy, infrastructure spending, producer responsibility laws and more… this livestream will cover legislative and regulatory issues impacting plastics in Washington, D.C. and state capitols. Our experts also look at China trade, chemical recycling legislation, new UN restrictions on shipping plastic waste and Congressional committees that are taking their first look in a decade at problems with plastics recycling – plus some high profile court cases like Formosa’s $50 million judgement in a pellet pollution lawsuit and what that could mean for other companies, and Congressional committees that continue looking at plastic waste.
