GCC Chemical Industry Must Embrace Circular Economy
The chemical industry in the Arabian Gulf region must embrace the circular economy, which if correctly leveraged can generate huge economic and environmental benefits, said speakers at the 9th GPCA PlastiCon held in Dubai recently.
Stakeholders would need to work together to increase the circularity of plastics by making sure that plastic waste is adequately recovered and that it does not end up in landfill or in the environment. The industry would also need to develop its innovation capabilities and work closely with regulators to formulate the right framework for plastic waste management, build an adequate infrastructure and adopt world-class standards, speakers said.
