Julie Zaniewski, North America sustainability director at Dow, says that the company's plans for 2020 include living out its sustainability strategy. That includes keeping plastic out of the environment and bringing circular economy solutions to life.

Jeff Wooster, global sustainability director at Dow, joined GreenBiz Editorial Director Heather Clancy, who hosted the Sidebar, to discuss the company's circular economy goals. Wooster notes that one of the goals is to increase the amount of materials it reclaims to use in its products. Its also working on chemical recycling.

"It's really our goal to try to let consumers put all of their plastic back into the system," Wooster said. "We're not there today but that's what we're working towards, that's our vision."
