Patrick Thomas President PlasticsEurope CEO Bayer MaterialScience “A man cannot become a hero until he can see the root of his own downfall” Aristotle In 2010, PolyTalk brought together the plastics industry and the scientific community to pave the way for a groundbreaking joint initiative to tackle a major societal, environmental and economic issue: marine litter. In 2011, the second PolyTalk gathered industry captains and green economy “gurus”, such as John Elkington, to set the first steps towards the development of a sustainability roadmap for the plastics industry. What is ailing us in 2012? And what, if anything, can and should be done to put things back on track? The world population is growing at a steady rate, approaching 9 billion people in the coming decades. The wealth gap between north and south is increasing at an unacceptable pace. The scarcity of vital resources, such as water and fossil fuels, if not dealt with on time, will have severe consequences on all. Can we afford to idly stand by and watch? And how about the plastics industry? Does it have any future in Europe? Are plastics part of the solution or are they aggravating the problem? Is this the beginning of the end? As citizens of Europe, it is our duty to act now and to find viable solutions; business as usual is no longer an option. We believe it is high time to reconcile science and emotions, productivity and resource preservation, profitability and social responsibility. Do you think plastics, the material that some love to hate, is part of the solution? I hope you will join us at PolyTalk 2012 to have your say! European Plastics Industry – Villain or Hero? 3
