Plastic pollution poses a severe environmental threat. Plastic packaging constitutes nearly half of global plastic waste, much of it single-use. This plastic can take up to a thousand years to decompose, entering our food systems and projected to outweigh fish in oceans by 2050.

Ecoware confronts this challenge by producing 100% biodegradable and compostable packaging. Made from agricultural waste, their affordable and sustainable tableware, packaging, and medical products offer an alternative to single-use plastics.

Learn how Ecoware achieved this and if their model can be replicated in a session.

The baseline for nature protection is rapidly changing, with future generations knowing less about nature than we did. How can we value nature beyond raw materials, and can a new financial system

The baseline for nature protection is rapidly changing, with future generations knowing less about nature than we did. How can we value nature beyond raw materials, and can a new financial system offer a solution to this problem?

Merit Valdsalu, CEO and co-founder of Single.Earth, addresses this by tokenizing the world's nature to integrate its protection into the economy. An ex-Pipedrive employee, she combines her passion for scalable technology with her love for the environment to prevent ecological collapse.

On August 14, 2019, Pakistan celebrated two independence days: its 72nd national freedom and the launch of a ban on single-use plastic bags. This initiative began with Islamabad's pilot project, making Pakistan one of 129 countries combating plastic pollution.

The World Bank is committed to Pakistan's environmental sustainability. Demonstrating this, the World Bank's Islamabad campus has operated free of single-use plastic for the past year, aligning with its pledge to "walk the talk."
