Biodegradable plastics are often perceived as environmentally friendly, but how true is this in practice, especially in the cold climatic conditions of Northern Europe and in anaerobic biowaste treatment?

This timely webinar brings together expert voices to explore the realities of plastic biodegradation in biowaste recycling facilities as well as soil and aquatic environments in northern climatic conditions.

This PlastTalk webinar is designed for Nordic and EU policymakers, parliamentarians, and stakeholders looking for up-to-date, research-based insights to guide future decision-making.

Topics discussed connect to 7-year Finnish national PlastLIFE project Re-thinking sustainable recycling of plastics. PlastLIFE is co-funded by the EU LIFE programme. PlastTalk webinars are organised by the PlastLIFE project coordinator Finnish Environment Institute (Syke).

Join us to better understand both the risks and possibilities of biodegradable plastics, and how informed policies can shape sustainable solutions for Europe.
