Marine plastic pollution is one of the most catastrophic manifestations of the environmental problems associated with packaging. Prevented Ocean Plastics is a new and, we believe, potentially transformative program that’s addressing the crisis in an innovative and scalable way. Raffi Schieir (Director of Prevented Ocean Plastic) and David Jakubovich (Director and Founder of JS&IC) tell us more about the initiative, its potential impacts, and their learnings to date.

**Speakers:** 

- David Jakubovich, Director & Founder at **JS&IC**
- Raffi Schieir, Director at **Prevented Ocean Plastic**
