Informing State Policy: The Plastics Learning Summit
November 12-14, 2025
Join NCEL in Chicago!
The Summit is designed to provide state legislators around the country with foundational knowledge and data on the health and community impacts of plastics. Our goal is to equip legislators with the tools necessary to advocate for new reuse and recycling policies and effectively counter false narratives surrounding plastics. The agenda will feature a variety of panels and discussions covering key topics in plastics, environmental justice, and more.
Legislators will gain a clear understanding of the latest research, case studies, and private sector initiatives related to a circular economy, enabling policy makers to reference these valuable resources in legislative work. Furthermore, we aim for legislators to leave with alignment on key policy approaches to pursue, along with actionable steps for ongoing coordination in preparation for the upcoming legislative session.
