Covid-19 urged us to totally reschedule and reorganize the Second International Conference on a Circular Economy for Plastics and Textiles.
We are happy to present to you our adapted – yet equally interesting – program that will take place in a guaranteed corona proof online setting.
We are looking forward to welcoming you to this virtual conference.
