Co-hosted by the NSW Smart Sensing Network (NSSN) and Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering (ATSE), this event brings together a world-leading team of research and industry partners to tackle the key challenges standing in the way of greater recycling rates in Australia.
Parliamentary Secretary to the Premier Gabrielle Upton MP will open the event.
The NSSN has brought together four research universities with major Australian companies to develop novel solutions for sensing and treating residual contaminants on high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plastic chips.
The project, led by PEGRAS Asia Pacific, has received funding through the Federal Government’s CRC-P Grants program.
This work coincides with the publication of the Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering's report on how technology can enable the Australian industry to transition towards a circular economy.
This seminar will explore current research and development being undertaken to tackle the challenges and to explore future directions.
The event will be hosted both live at the Sydney Startup Hub and online.
The event’s program is available here.
