SUMMARY:Future of Healthcare Week Asia 2022
DESCRIPTION:Healthcare has never been more important to the global economy than during the past two years. Now healthcare systems will need to start tackling a mounting backlog of non-covid care. But despite rising demands and costs\, global healthcare spending growth in 2022 will slow to 4.1%. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEconomist Impact’s third annual Future of Healthcare Week Asia will unite 300 healthcare leaders in Singapore–joined by 4\,000 peers online–to examine the vulnerabilities and opportunities that the recent crisis has catalysed. Over 3 days\, policymakers\, healthcare providers\, academics and scientists will share practical learnings with representatives from industry\, patient associations\, charities and finance. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nExplore issues around diversity\, equity and inclusion\, healthcare-system vulnerabilities and labour shortages\, healthy ageing and digital health and data. Examine how silos\, within and between organisations\, can be broken down to further the efficiency and sustainability of healthcare for all. Join the dialogue\, as healthcare leaders move beyond healthcare to focus on health via preventive care and solutions that move beyond the hospital\, into the community. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTweets by EconomistEvents\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.

SUMMARY:Packaging Targets: Set and Meet Them with Plastic IQ
DESCRIPTION:Companies across the United States have publicly announced ambitious sustainable plastic packaging targets to accomplish by 2030 or sooner\, but many lack the proper resources and time to understand exactly how to get there. Simultaneously\, plastic pollution leakage into the environment is a key topic across multiple sectors\, including the waste industry. What will it take to reduce plastic packaging waste in the U.S.\, and how can brands and retailers positively influence the outcomes? Without sustainable packaging strategies to manage broad portfolios\, it is difficult to weigh decisions that will result in the best environmental and economic outcomes. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin The Recycling Partnership and esteemed panelists from Walmart\, WWF\, and Blue Apron to hear why more than 200 U.S. companies are using Plastic IQ\, a free\, customizable tool to make informed circular packaging decisions across their plastics portfolios. Supported by Walmart and co-developed with SYSTEMIQ\, this open access tool allows users to compare solutions for reduction\, reuse\, recyclability\, and compostability and assess the most impactful options for meeting packaging targets by 2025 or 2030. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKey Takeways: \n\n\n\n\nAccess the best data available for setting and meeting plastic packaging targets – for free\n\n\n\nHear from industry leaders how the tool is driving their high impact solutions\n\n\n\nConnect with Walmart Project Gigaton and U.S. Plastics Pact Activator reporting\n\n\n\nPrepare for U.S. policy as the landscape quickly evolves\n\n\n\nGain public recognition for commitments\, if desired\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTweets by SustainBrands\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.
