IN pursuit of sustainable development, the Department of Science and Technology together with the European Commission Directorate-General for Research and Innovation (DG RTD), with the support of the Enhanced EU-Asean Dialogue Instrument (E-READI) and the Asean Secretariat S&T Division hosted the EU-Asean Dialogue on GreenTech & Innovation Mapping: Green Technologies for Plastic Value Chain Management Webinar Series. This engagement is the fourth installment of the six-part webinar series.

This webinar particularly focused on plastic wastes consolidation and recycling approaches. The speakers from Asean (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) and the EU (European Union) zeroed in on the importance of policy frameworks and models on plastic waste consolidation, segregation, and recycling. Special talks of relevant EU Horizon 2020-funded projects addressing issues on plastic wastes were also presented.
