For each event an advisory board comprising the industry’s leading practitioners and regulators is assembled to offer advice on content, speakers, flow and format.

Plastic pollution has become one of the world’s most pressing environmental challenges and we at REDmoney Events are playing our part to reduce the global environmental destruction even as increased production of plastics has overwhelmed the world’s ability to dispose of them.
