Demonstration MICROfactorie technologies at conference

The UNSW SMaRT Centre has been operating a demonstration battery recycling MICROfactorie^TM at the 2023 ecologiQ Greener Infrastructure Conference in Melbourne.

The SMaRT display has also included a 3D printing component from SMaRT's Plastics Filament  MICROfactorie^TM module, along with products made from its Green Ceramics  MICROfactorie^TM Technology.

ecologiQ is a Victorian Government initiative to integrate recycled and reused content into every corner of Victoria’s $90 billion Big Build by incorporating waste products wherever possible, drawing a crucial connection between Victoria’s transport projects and the reform of Victoria’s recycling system.

This 3-day event at Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre has been bringing together leaders in government, sustainability and infrastructure to explore how to accelerate our shift to a greener future. SMaRT Director Prof Veena has been Master of Ceremonies for the event.

The conference is hosted by the Victorian Government's ecologiQ program and presents a unique opportunity to learn about how greener materials are being integrated into transport infrastructure and how collaboration and innovation can take it to the next level.
