🎧 Plastic Positivity Podcast: Connecting Across the Supply Chain
🎧 Plastic Positivity Podcast: Connecting in the chain; from pilot to practice
How do we successfully bring circular plastics, materials and products to market? In the latest episode of the Plastic Positivity Podcast: Connecting in the chain; from pilot to practice, we speak with experience experts Marc Spekreijse (Circular Plastics NL), Tijmen Vries (BioBTX) and Lars van Zutphen (Morssinkhof Plastics) about what it takes to collaborate in the chain and establish new circular chains in the plastics industry.
Key insights from the conversation:
- Successful chains get off the ground only with commitment, trust and subsidies as bridges and incentives for investors.
- The challenge lies not only with technology or money, but especially with stable resource availability and off-take guarantees.
- Examples from the Netherlands and Belgium show that strong coalitions and long-term security are essential for successful scale-up.
Listen to the podcast:
The conversation will continue during the breakout session "Connecting in the chain; from pilot to practice" (the eponymous session) during the annual Transition to Circularity event, organized by Circular Plastics NL, BioBased Circular and Green Chemistry New Economy. This year it will take place on Oct. 30, 2025 in Eindhoven, Netherlands.
