In this webinar the panelists discuss the existent recycling system, the challenges faced at each of these stages, regulations, administrative support, and what could be done to improve the system, and to make individual lives along the chain better.

Panelists also spoke about the impacts of COVID-19 and the new challenges it has thrown in the work.
