Jibungoto University Keynote Discussion

Posted by Yudai Tadaki on December 5, 2022

Jibungoto University is an online platform that invites experts to address difficult global challenges, and encourages us to consider our own roles as if these were our own problems (rather than just someone else's problems that don't affect us). 

One of the global issues they focused on was plastic waste pollution and EWC was selected as the keynote speaker to discuss the issue and brainstorm creative solutions with the participants. Attendees ranged from industry professionals to NPO representatives, and even everyday individuals who were curious about the issue and wanted to learn more.

After introducing EWC's activities, we had a very lively discussions that brought together many different points of view. It was a great opportunity to connect with others from diverse backgrounds, learn from each other, and open our minds to new ideas and approaches.

Of these, many of the participants thought that idea that plastic waste can be converted to valuable products like fuel which can help reduce waste in improve communities needed to be adopted more around the world, and even in their own communities.

We look forward to participating in similar events to spread the word and to learn from others.
