The event was attended by, among others, the General Director of Climate Change of the Valencian Community, Joan Piquer; the President of the Spanish Institute of Packaging, Pedro Ballester; and Teresa Sebastiá, coordinator of the area of ​​companies of ECOEMBES .

During the presentation, Joan Piquer, General Director of Climate Change and Environmental Quality of the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment, explained that the new strategy for plastics raises the need to rethink and improve the plastics value chain and promote greater cooperation among all key stakeholders; from plastic producers to recycling companies, retailers and consumers.
