At the end of November 2023, the BKV held an online event on the topic of "Plastics in the environment - focus on pellet losses".

 

The results of the study "Plastics in the Environment: Special Report Pellet Losses" commissioned by the BKV were presented by Conversio Market & Strategy GmbH at the event. Further short keynote speeches, in particular on the industry initiatives in the plastics value chain, offered the opportunity to learn about and exchange information on current developments, prevention measures and best practices in day-to-day operations.
