Pregis' Clint Smith Panelist at Transitioning to a Sustainable, Circular Economy for Plastics

On June 8-9, 2023, in Seattle, WA, the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) and Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies Office (AMMTO) will host Transitioning to a Sustainable, Circular Economy for Plastics.

We're thrilled to announce that Clint Smith, Sr. Director of Global Sustainability for Pregis, will be joining the event as a panelist. Clint will share valuable insights on packaging innovations, focusing on the incorporation of PCR (Post-Consumer Recycled) materials into high-performance films.

Clint will participate in the panel discussion titled “Circularity and Climate Tradeoffs for Materials”.  He will be joined by Anne Bedarf of Colgate and Annie Agle of Cotopaxi on the panel which will be moderated by Michelle Tulac from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation.  

The workshop goals are to assess the current landscape of plastic sustainability and circularity in the US, identify the metrics companies are using, uncover supply chain gaps and opportunities for decarbonization. This event is an incredible opportunity to engage and collaborate across the value chain to accelerate the journey towards a more sustainable future for plastics.
