This week, we’re listening in on a panel discussion, originally recorded last month on World Oceans Day (June 8, 2021), which analyzes the impact of human actions on the ocean. In this special livestream hosted by ESGX, Upstream CEO Matt Prindiville moderated a discussion with reuse experts from companies such as Newday Impact Investing, r.Cup/r.Ware, Loop, TerraCycle and Dishcraft Robotics, on how we can come together to break away from single-use plastic and develop a worldwide movement to support the sustainable management of the world's oceans.
