This four-day event brings together experts from India and abroad to address pressing concerns related to plastic waste management, recycling, and sustainability. The conference aims to promote circularity and discuss innovative solutions for a more sustainable future. Notable attendees include Secretary of the Union Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers, **Smt. Nivedita Shukla Verma**, and Joint Secretary of the Union Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, **Smt. Mercy Epao**[^1^] [^3^]. Topics covered include advances in biodegradable plastics, circular economy principles in waste management, and policy frameworks affecting plastics use and recycling[^2^].
