BVRio took part in a workshop for co-creating Plastics Circularity in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, promoted by the Circular Plastics in the Americas Programme (CPAP) on 24 August. BVRio is keen to play a role in creating partnerships to implement future pilot projects over the next two years, through developing Circular Action Programmes (CAPs) to increase the circularity of plastics and promote a green economy in Rio. BVRio\u2019s circular economy specialists exchanged experiences with other organisations to bring insights into the main challenges and opportunities for the city in the sector. <\/p>\n
“The event was great to scope potential partnerships between the varied stakeholders interested in increasing the circularity of plastics in Rio and to kick-off the development of models that can then be replicated in other locations. No doubt it is a great challenge, but the approach and discussions promoted by CPAP are a crucial first step”, said Maria Accioly,<\/strong> BVRio circular economy specialist.<\/p>\n Tathiana Colturato<\/b>, CPAP\u2019s Coordinator, considered the event a success. “We aimed to bring together industry stakeholders to discuss specific challenges and potential actions for joint implementation at different levels (national, regional and\/or municipal) and, from the debates, we identified successful cases that can contribute to improving plastics management in Rio de Janeiro and Brazil.”<\/span><\/p>\n
