Reframing Sustainability: Where Compliance Meets Competitive Advantage

As the plastics value chain faces a wave of evolving regulations—most notably Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR)—regulatory requirements are quickly overtaking voluntary targets as the primary drivers of change. In this new landscape, source reduction (optimizing product-to-package ratios), designing for recyclability (D4R), and integrating post-consumer recycled (PCR) content are transforming from mere compliance checkboxes into powerful levers for growth and unique market differentiation.


Heather Turner, North America Sustainability Director for Dow's Packaging & Specialty Plastics business, will discuss how companies can unlock hidden value by weaving sustainability solutions into product design and material sourcing. This session will take a practical look at what it takes to move from ambition to action—operationalizing circular materials at scale and accelerating progress across the industry.


Key topics will include: the business case for circular design, how D4R and PCR strategies not only support long-term compliance but also help drive profitability, reduce carbon intensity and minimize waste-related costs—reinforcing sustainability into a cornerstone of business success.
