UNSW SMaRT Centre Director Prof Veena was a guest speaker at an Engineers Australia event to celebrate its newly recognised Fellows and Companions.
She inspired the next generation of engineering leaders about their crucial role in helping to solve the world's biggest challenges, and highlighted that using innovations such as UNSW SMaRT Centre's recycling and MICROfactorieTM technologies that recover valuable materials from waste and reform them into new manufacturing feedstock and products through collaborators, are central to help achieve the sustainability needed for the future.
EA said: "A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for this special occasion. Your presence made it memorable! A special shoutout to Professor Veena Sahajwalla for her insightful speech on recycling—it sparked some great conversations and inspired us all to think more critically and laterally about sustainability in our day-to-day lives."
