Show Notes
Upstream Policy Director and this episode’s guest host, Sydney Harris, sits down with Judy Hilton, a reuse and sustainability consultant and researcher, and co-author of the recent groundbreaking report Making Reuse a Reality: A systems approach to tackling single-use plastic pollution. The report came about as a collaborative effort between Break Free From Plastic and the University of Portsmouth’s Global Plastics Policy Centre (which Judy helped develop). It outlines the stages which will enable the transition away from single-use plastic so reuse systems can scale and was presented at this spring’s Global Plastics Treaty negotiations in Paris, INC-2. The report makes the case that the Treaty presents a key opportunity to set out the foundations of reuse systems. Learn more as Sydney and Judy dive deep on Judy’s research and what it implies for reuse policy, standards, and more.
