Circular Essentials Webinar - Big Bag Recovery / IPS

Big Bag Recovery and Innovative Plastic Solutions (IPS) are working together to create a practical circular flow for bulk bags and plastic sacks, instead of ending up as landfill, a compliance headache, or a “we’ll deal with it later” problem.

If you’ve ever asked:

• What does “circular” look like when you have to make it work operationally?
• Who does what, and where does my business fit?
• How do we turn good intent into a real, repeatable process?

This session will give you clear answers without drowning you in technical detail.

What you’ll get from this session?

A simple explanation of the collaboration, and what “circular” means in this context

• How to get involved
• Real-world examples
• Live Q&A

Who should attend?

• Sustainability / ESG leads responsible for packaging outcomes
• Operations, procurement, and supply chain teams handling sacks or bulk bags
• Manufacturers, importers, distributors, and end-users working with industrial packaging
• Anyone with interest in Circular Economy and Innovative markets
