SUMMARY:SPE - Cleveland Section Virtual Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Grey is the New Green: Nuances at the Nexus of Plastics and Sustainability \nConor Carlin\, Managing Director of ILLIG North America LP \nPlastics and sustainability: is this a contradiction in terms?

We will explore this debate and attempt to find some common ground across competing narratives\, impersonal algorithms\, impending legislation and material science. \nConor Carlin – Bio: Conor Carlin is the Managing Director of ILLIG North America LP\, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ILLIG Maschinenbau GmbH & Co.
