The Ending Plastic Waste Symposium 2024, led by CSIRO in partnership with RMIT University as host of the ARC TREMS Hub was held on Tuesday 6th August and Wednesday 7th August at Sofitel Melbourne on Collins. The symposium showcased the latest science and technology research across the plastic waste ecosystem with experts from research, industry, and government discussing cutting-edge solutions to end plastic waste.
Key topics presented included plastic design and materials, advances in recycling and resource recovery, plastic in the environment, circular economy and system perspectives and international approaches.

The event provided a valuable opportunity for experts from industry, research and academia to foster connections and future partnerships. Sustainability efforts as part of this event included avoidance of single-use plastics, encouraging the use of reusable items, and included a 50% vegetarian dinner to reduce the carbon footprint.
