edie’s Mission Possible campaign evolves with launch of dedicated Plastics Hub microsite

edie will continue to add valuable news articles

Launched in January 2019, the Mission Possible Plastics Hub acts as the go-to webpage for insight, information and inspiration for businesses seeking to combat the issues of single-use plastics within their operations and across their value chains.

The launch of the Hub saw must-see webinars, engaging podcasts and exclusive interviews set the tone for the type of content that would be hosted on edie. Now, the Plastics Hub has its own dedicated page on edie’s Mission Possible microsite.

Alongside engaging interviews, the Plastics Hub is encouraging sustainability professionals to submit new commitments to tackle plastic pollution on the Mission Possible Pledge Wall.

If your company has an existing plastics commitment, or if you’re planning a new commitment over the coming months, you can showcase it on the Mission Possible Pledge Wall.
