We are fortunate that our Program Chair, Lynley Crawford, hails from New Zealand which was instrumental to taking up this webinar in our program for 2021.

Also at this webinar there will be a short presentation in our series “Plastics make it happen”.

This introduction will be followed by a presentation from Rachel Barker, the CEO of Plastics New Zealand, on the status of activities in the plastics sector by the New Zealand industry.

The next presentation will be by Marc Gaugler from Scion who will cover innovations and technical developments from this research institute in New Zealand.
