On February 26th, the University of Saskatchewan College of Engineering and the Johnson Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy, are hosting a panel conversation about single-use plastics, the circular economy and the roles we play as consumers. Please join us as the panel explores the complexity of the issue and regulatory space, expands the knowledge around circular economies and supports a framework to have balanced, respectful conversations that are non-polarized.
