Webinar Outline:
1. Introducing the CbDP as a Collaborative Platform
- In this section, we will explore the role of the CbDP (Compostable Design Platform) as a key collaborative tool. We’ll discuss how it brings together industry stakeholders to foster innovation and improve the design of compostable materials. By working together, we can share best practices and insights to accelerate the transition towards sustainable packaging solutions.
2. Understanding the Place of Compostables in a Circular Economy
- Here, we will examine the critical role that compostable materials play within the broader context of the circular economy. We’ll discuss how compostables fit into the waste management ecosystem, focusing on their potential to reduce waste and support a more sustainable, closed-loop system. Understanding this place will help businesses align their sustainability goals with circular economy principles.
3. Science and Solution-Oriented Guidance for Compostables
- This section will provide an overview of the science behind compostables. We will highlight key research and innovations that are shaping the compostable materials industry, along with actionable solutions. The goal is to equip participants with science-backed knowledge to help guide decision-making around compostable material choices and their use.
4. Opportunities for Compostables in PPWR and Achieving 100% Recyclable and Compostable Packaging by 2030
- We will discuss the latest developments in the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), focusing on the opportunities for compostables. We’ll look at how compostable materials can help achieve the ambitious goal of 100% recyclable and compostable packaging by 2030, and how businesses can contribute to this target.
5. Next Steps: Upcoming Publication of CbDP Design Guidelines and ‘White Paper’ on Compostability Field Testing Protocols
- Finally, we’ll share the next steps for the CbDP initiative, including the upcoming publication of comprehensive design guidelines. Additionally, we’ll introduce the ‘white paper’ on compostability field testing protocols, which will offer practical guidance for testing and ensuring the compostability of materials in real-world conditions.
We hope this session will inspire collaboration and innovation, guiding all of us toward a more sustainable and circular packaging future.
