From Waste to Wisdom: Baltic Quest for Plastic Reduction – Final Conference
Join us in Turku, Finland, on 10–11 December 2025 for the BALTIPLAST Final Conference, where the Baltic Sea region’s leading experts, policymakers, and practitioners will gather to share solutions and results in the fight against plastic pollution.
