As we count down to this landmark event, we invite all stakeholders—industry leaders, entrepreneurs,
researchers, and policymakers—to be part of a collective vision for a greener, more sustainable plastics
ecosystem. Let us not just participate, but lead the global conversation on responsible plastics.

Stay Connected, See you all at 2nd GCPRS 2025.
