One month before the resumption of negotiations for an international treaty on plastics, MEP Catherine Chabaud is pleased to invite you to the evening screening-debate “Dear Plastic, a toxic love story”, a film directed by Dorothée Adam and co-produced by Guindala Production, Ampersan and Ushuaia TV.
This documentary takes stock of the place of plastic in our lives and invites us to rethink, through the eyes of politicians, scientists, a sociologist, a sailor and an NGO leader, the consumption of this material in our daily lives. The screening will be followed by interventions from a panel of speakers and discussions with the audience on the use of plastics, the future plastics treaty and European legislation on the subject.
