The talk will explore the Guiltless Plastic initiative, launched by Orlandi in 2017, which aims to change the perception of plastic to ensure that the material is used responsibly.
As part of the initiative, Dezeen partnered with Orlandi on the Ro Plastic Prize competition in February 2019, which challenged designers to develop new ways of recycling and reusing the material in more cost, time and energy efficient ways.
