Research Analyst in the New Plastics Economy Initiative’s innovation team · Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s Plastics Initiative

Going through the sessions and abstracts for this year’s SETAC Europe meeting, plastic pollution was one of the most abundant topics, now encompassing sessions throughout all four days of the conference. Considering the large interest in plastic pollution, we thought it would be interesting if we could get someone from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation working on plastic pollution and how to solve the problems of the future to give a keynote lecture. Luckily, George McLoughlin, working as a research analyst in the New Plastics Economy Initiative’s innovation team, has agreed to give a keynote on how the global plastic packaging economy can be changed from a linear to a circular economy model. We look very much forward to hearing about solutions to the ever-accumulating plastics, causing so many problems, particularly in the oceans of the world.
