WORKSHOP OVERVIEW:
In this workshop we will explore several key questions:

(2) How can paper- and fiber-based products be used to substitute for single-use plastics?  
 
We will hear from a panel of experts that includes:
 
Pat Lindner (Westrock)
Megan Robison (Printpack)
Kathi Rowzie (Two Sides)
Nina Goodrich (GreenBlue)

Participants will also have access to a poster session highlighting the cutting-edge research being performed by Georgia Tech Paper Science & Engineering PhD students.
