Exploring Challenges and Solutions for a Sustainable Future

Ten years after the Paris Agreement and with only five years remaining to reach the 2030 targets for energy transition and decarbonization, alongside the introduction of mandatory sustainability regulations (ESG) for industries, processes, and products, as well as for consumers behaviors, it is crucial that this industrial sector meets its targets towards a sustainable future.
PSGE 2025 will be a pivotal event for driving multi-sectoral and international networking and knowledge sharing, placing a strong emphasis on people and planetary health. Our key themes include Circularity, Transition, Resilience, Adaptation, Safety, Integrity, Regeneration and Interdisciplinarity.
We will also continue to explore critical aspects related to Resources, Oceans, Recycling, Behaviors, Environment, Technology and Sustainable Development.
Four topics will be addressed in four rounds of debates over solutions for economy, society, industry, and the environment.

1st Panel
Keep Looping:
Enhancing Circularity

The circular economy has gained significant presence as a strategic factor for business and industry as crucial enabler of a sustainable economy, and a lever for overcoming resource dependencies. However, the circular economy continues to be a challenge for this industry and any sector of the value chain.
At a time when several new legislations are emerging and new requirements and targets will be set for the collection, recycling and recycled content (PPWR, ELV/Auto, Food Contact, Pellet Loss prevention and control), it is important to explore the main challenges, opportunities, barriers and bottlenecks on the way to closing the loop.
Mechanical and chemical recycling, biowaste, recycled content, eco-design, traceability and case studies are subjects of matter importance for this discussion.

2nd Panel
Transition Pathways:
A Societal Approach

Many of our major transition challenges are not only related to raw materials, technology, and industrial processes, but also to consumption patterns, social behaviors, ethical communication, fair marketing, political decisions, and legislation. These must be based on true knowledge and research. The Global Plastic Treaty (UNEA resolution) to end plastic pollution and the Green Claims Directive to fight against greenwashing practices are two approaches which highlights this need. Furthermore, the way information is conveyed between organizations and to the consumer/society needs to be based on evidence, with a strong focus on overcoming disinformation and going beyond mere “educating”. The industry should globally pursue credibility and trust and address current challenges by embracing a culture of integrity, responsibility and transparency built on compliance with ethics, safety, human health, human rights, sustainability, and social responsibility within the plastics sector.

3rd Panel
Resilient Industry and Integrated Management

A just transition is necessary for both people and industry. To become more resilient, it is essential to have the capacity not only to adapt but also to adopt a foresight and preparedness approach to tackle climate change and unpredictable geopolitics events, among other societal and challenges. To achieve European and global targets, the industry will need to accelerate the green transition for a net-zero industry (decarbonization) or negative emissions. On the other hand, with an increasing number of ESG regulations, standards and sustainable finance emerging worldwide, it is crucial to bring to the debate their implications for business practices and global markets. We will also have the opportunity to explore the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in this area and how it could be leveraged to embrace more sustainable and efficient practices.

4th Panel
Regenerative Ecosystem Architecture: From cradle to cradle

Pollution and biodiversity loss are two crises we must combat now. Creating a regenerative economy, raising awareness, and securing funds for global actions that add value to our common good are crucial to the Earth System. Healthy oceans, increased forestation, and ecosystem restoration are fundamental for our life. The challenge we face is not individual but collective and systemic. In fact, ecosystems that restore, renew or revitalize their own sources of energy and materials help our planet thrive, but this requires a scale of change that demands full commitment and global cooperation.

SUSTAINABLE PLASTICS AGENDA AT
PLASTICS SUMMIT - GLOBAL EVENT 2025
The SUSTAINABLE PLASTICS Project aims to become the Mobilising Agenda for Sustainable Plastics in Portugal, capable of leveraging the sector’s transition to a truly circular economy. Co-financed by the Portuguese Recovery Plan, this Agenda is the result of an APIP initiative, led by the Logoplaste Innovation Lab, and aims to mobilise the private sector, national authorities, universities and citizens, contributing to the objectives of the European Circular Economy of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, greater resource efficiency and job creation.
At the Plastics Summit – Global Event 2025, the “Sustainable Plastics Stage” will be the stage for presenting the results of the 14 projects that make up this Mobilising Agenda.
