Our Sponsors
Jennifer Malone – Account Manager at Ecosurety
Jennifer’s interest in the Circular Economy was sparked during her part-time Research Master's, where she explored the challenges associated with Environmental Policy Implementation. This enthusiasm has been further fuelled by working with like-minded individuals, dedicated to sustainable change. In her role as Account Manager at Ecosurety, she witnesses first-hand the translation of policy into practice, navigating the complexities that accompany such transformative shifts. This experience has solidified her commitment to advancing the circular economy and driving sustainable solutions in the scope of packaging and beyond.
Chris Brown - Managing Director, No More Lids
No More Lids is the UK home of the Good Cup. It is a truly unique hot and cold drinks cup with an integrated folding lids meaning No More Lids needed! Their incredible cup is 100% compostable both at home and industrially, can simply be recycled as paper with no specialist treatment needed and even if it ends up in landfill the cup is gone without a trace or negative impact on the environment within 3 to 6 months maximum. No More Lids have the potential to remove over 21,000 tonnes of single use plastic from the UK each year and are asking people to try the cup and make the switch offering the cup at comparable if not lower price than the cup and lid alternative to help drive the change. Chris has worked in hospitality all his life and knew he could make a difference and tackle what literally is a daily issue.
