Recycling and recovery of materials is at the forefront of attention. New technologies are being development, applied and whole new factories are being built to preserve our resources in a better way.
This seminar includes a demonstration of the micro-recycling factory as developed at the SMaRT Centre, UNSW by Scientia Professor Veena Sahajwalla, Director of the SMaRT Centre. Nick Harford of Equilibrium will present on examples of potential supply chain models to make recycling more sustainable. Samantha Cross of Cross Connections will share her Plastic Police® participation model for better recycling of film materials and Newtecpoly will show how useful products can be made from such recycling streams. Kathy Giunta of the NSW EPA will present an overview of the NSW funding schemes for recycling projects.
This event is a collaboration between the SMaRT Centre, UNSW and the Australia-New Zealand Section of the Society of Plastics Engineers.
