What if you could turn plastic trash into cash? | David Katz

Can we solve the problem of ocean plastic pollution and end extreme poverty at the same time?

Join David Katz to learn more about this step towards closing the loop in the circular economy. "Preventing ocean plastic could be humanity's richest opportunity," Katz says.
