Think Beyond Plastic

Marcy Rustad, COO of Think Beyond Plastic, will speak about Think Beyond Plastic’s important projects in California and globally, to address plastic pollution by accelerating the circular economy for plastics. Since 2009, Think Beyond Plastic has led the shift away from fossil fuel-based plastics towards bio-based, bio-benign materials from renewable sources and associated manufacturing, and innovative consumer and business products specifically designed to handle these new materials. Think Beyond Plastic was launched to address a growing consumer and business demand for sustainable alternatives to conventional plastic. This forward-looking organization approaches plastic pollution as an untapped entrepreneurial and investment opportunity, and an innovation challenge.
