On 21 June (15:00 - 16:15 CEST), the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is hosting Global Plastics Outlook: Policy Scenarios to 2060, part of the OECD Green Talks series.

Through this webinar, the OECD will explore the projections and policies to bend the plastic curve during a presentation of the OECD report Global Plastics Outlook: Policy Scenarios to 2060. The report provides a set of coherent projections on plastics to 2060, including plastics use and waste as well as the environmental impacts linked to plastics, especially leakage to the environment.

The webinar will include a presentation of the key projections and two policy packages to bend the plastic curve, for a better understanding of the environmental benefits and economic consequences of adopting more stringent policies.
