At the NPE 2024, which took place between May 6 to 10 in Orlando, APIP – Portuguese Plastics Industry Association had the opportunity to promote the Sustainable Plastics Agenda, which is capable of leveraging the sector’s transition to a truly circular economy, contributing with even more sustainable solutions.
