Talks + Q&As
Whether it’s a lunchtime talk, after-work event or office retreat, we can present the Everyday Plastic story to your entire workforce, or to individual teams.
Our talks are delivered by our founder, Daniel Webb. Read Daniel’s bio here
In the talk, Daniel tells the story of the origin of Everyday Plastic and his subsequent mission to help others establish a personal connection to the single-use plastic problem. Employees are encouraged to look at their own consumption habits and behaviours, and what can be improved in their workplace.
