Sustainable Plastics APPG
The Birmingham Plastics Network is proud to be the Secretariat for the Sustainable Plastics All- Party Parliamentary Group (APPG). The APPG brings together cross-party parliamentarians with a common aim: to further evidence-based discussions regarding the positive and negative impacts of plastics across their full life cycle, and influence policy towards achieving a sustainable future, and circular economy, for plastics.
In our role as Secretariat, we provide administrative and organisational support for the APPG and facilitate engagement between parliamentarians and experts working across the plastics sector, to support informed policymaking.
