Why Plastic Waste is a C- Suite Issue

Why is plastic waste a c-suite issue, and how can corporate leaders have a positive impact on plastic waste reduction, while potentially benefiting their businesses? 

Plastic waste reduction is not only an environmental issue.  It is an economic one. Indeed, every C-suite officer has a reason to care about plastic waste reduction, and can benefit by trying to address the problem.  Even companies who are not a traditional part of the plastic value chain can play an important role. Last year, Morgan Stanley made a firm-wide commitment, the Morgan Stanley Plastic Waste Resolution, to facilitate the prevention, reduction, and removal of 50 million metric tons of plastic waste from rivers, oceans, landfills, and landscapes by 2030.  Across other industries, and all around the C-suite table, business leaders can play an important part in building a more sustainable plastics economy that can deliver benefits for sustainability, for brand and for profits.

Achieving Plastic Commitments Amidst Low Oil Prices

Breakout

How can brands and retailers achieve ambitious circular and sustainable packaging goals amidst a volatile oil market?

A great onus has been placed on brands to design, manufacture and sell more sustainable packaging. Thanks to increased consumer awareness, sporadic regulatory influence and proactive corporate engagement, numerous companies have set ambitious goals to rethink their packaging approach. But creating a holistic packaging strategy comes with complex and sometimes contradictory considerations. From material selection and availability, to recyclability and regional challenges, to financial implications and carbon footprints, companies face a complex landscape of deliberations. This is all the more true with the recent plummeting of oil prices that promise bargain prices for virgin plastics and threaten the economics of recycled materials. Hearing from brands with ambitious commitments to recyclability and recycled content, this breakout panel will uncover how they are staying the course despite these unprecedented times.

Shifting Your Business Model: How to Resale

Breakout

How can your company implement a resale business model?

The resale of used, worn or simply returned consumer products, also known as recommerce, holds tremendous promise for the retail industry. Beyond diverting substantial landfill waste, resale represents a rapidly growing revenue opportunity with a market valued at $20 billion in the apparel industry alone. But despite clear environmental benefits and new financial opportunities, only a handful of companies are implementing secondary sales models. From reverse logistics, quality control, customer expectations and revenue cannibalization concerns, companies must overcome a multitude of considerations and complexities. Join this breakout to learn how organizations at the forefront of the recommerce industry are tackling these challenges, and what it took them to build an effective, lucrative resale business model.

Return to Sender: Navigating Reverse Logistics

Breakout

How can companies establish efficient reverse logistics to reclaim products and enable more circular outcomes?

Product take-back programs are commonplace at retailers keen to have customers walk their used printers and sweaters back into the store. Manufacturers commonly offer mail-in programs, and even cosmetics brands have begun accepting empty packaging for discounts on the next purchase. But all this is very old fashioned, and oftentimes the path of used items is not circular, or even sustainable. This session will examine efforts to modernize take-back and reverse logistics to  forge stronger links in a circular supply chain.

Is There a Role for Waste-to-Energy in the Circular Economy?

Breakout

Americans create a lot of solid waste – to the tune of 268 million tons in 2017 alone. While many localities and companies are championing zero-waste plans to divert materials that have a second life (think recycling, reusing and composting), the majority of U.S. garbage still ends up in the landfill. What's the best use of that garbage?

This session explores the polarizing world of waste-to-energy through incineration and gasification. Experts will cover if it ever makes sense to generate energy from trash, and break down the environmental and social pitfalls.

Stemming the Tide: Investment, Infrastructure and Innovation in Ocean Plastics

Breakout

How can companies engage informal waste economies, prevent marine debris, and incorporate ocean-bound plastics into their supply chains?

More than 86 million metric tons of plastic are in our ocean. With 8 million to 12 million tons of plastic waste flowing into the ocean each year, our ocean’s plastic is projected to outweigh its fish by 2050. With these staggering statistics and a tidal wave of public outcry, leading companies are leveraging disaster as opportunity by reframing ocean-bound plastics as an untapped resource. From apparel to packaging to household goods, diverse consumer products are manufactured in part or entirely by ocean-bound plastics, turning waste into value and outrage into a powerful brand narrative. This session will explore how leading brands have invested in informal waste economy infrastructure and integrated ocean-bound plastics into their products.

A Roadmap for Best-of-Class Circular Partnerships

Breakout

How can companies navigate internal and external roadblocks in order to unlock circular advancement?

Fueled by consumer activism and investor demand, the transition from a linear to a circular economy is disrupting how the private sector conventionally positions its sustainability agenda. Traditionally siloed in a company’s corporate social responsibility (CSR), the infusion of circular economy into sustainability has provided companies a platform to unlock financial value and demonstrate ROI, while appealing to a broad range of diverse stakeholders. For many companies however, the rapid shift to a circular platform is causing tension in how a company prioritizes, partners and communicates sustainability and circular economy initiatives both internally and externally.

To ensure that companies are aligned on their sustainability, shared value and philanthropic initiatives, this session will help attendees to:

  • Understand how to identify and overcome internal barriers that prohibit progress on circular economy goals.
  • Unlock insights into the internal silos around sustainability/corporate responsibility that exist in the corporate space that stifle innovation, grow distrust and potentially can cause financial harm to the company.
  • Learn best practices on integrating circular economy initiatives into the corporate ecosystem to drive internal alignment, innovation and external partnerships.
  • Uncover internal corporate value chain biases (Finance, Sustainability, CSR and Corporate Foundation)
  • Capture key insights on successful corporate and nonprofit circular partnerships.

Circular Electronics: Creating a Sustainable, Responsible Supply Chain

Breakout

How can the electronics industry create social and economic value from the millions of tonnes of existing e-waste?

This session will explore how companies are reincorporating the over 53 million tonnes of e-waste generated annually in a way that preserves the highest integrity of the material, and doesn’t depend on poor working conditions. The hazardous materials in electronics, combined with the high value of metals, incentivizes potentially harmful recycling practices, making the reclaimed materials a supply chain risk. Companies will demonstrate how they are approaching due diligence in their reverse supply chains. Additionally, a case study in product material reintegration will show how companies are building cleaner and more responsible business models by recapturing and maintaining value from one of the most notoriously difficult substances to recycle.

Going Plastic Neutral: Footprints, Credits and Offsets

Breakout

What does it mean for  companies to go "plastic neutral" and what will it take to scale, track and standardize effective plastic-offsetting infrastructure?

From Norway to Microsoft, companies and countries alike have been making headlines with sweeping commitments to go carbon neutral. But what about going “plastic neutral”?

Much like carbon neutrality, its plastics counterpart will require a significant reduction of outputs. But as companies work to shift supply chains and develop infrastructure to achieve ambitious plastics-reduction goals, offsets could offer a near-term approach to lightening a company's plastic footprint.

From tools to calculate plastic footprints, to a standardized system for plastics credits, to on-the-ground projects and partnerships with informal waste workers, several organizations are developing critical elements of an effective and impact-oriented plastic-offsetting system. Join this panel to learn how these trailblazers are partnering to establish a market for plastic waste, and how your company can support their efforts while advancing your plastic reduction or neutrality goals.

Climate Considerations: Using Circularity to Achieve Carbon Goals

Breakout

How can circular economy solutions align with and advance carbon reduction goals, and how should companies balance these initiatives?

A fully realized circular economy holds the promise of significant carbon savings as materials are no longer extracted and processed, but reused and maintained. However, as we strive for this ideal future, many circular initiatives are energy intensive in practice; when emission reductions are in fact secured, the carbon offset is difficult to quantify. 

During this session, we will hear from companies and cities aligning their circular initiatives with GHG reduction goals. We’ll learn what circular projects have provided emission reductions, and how they’re measuring this success.
