UNSW Urban Futures Booklet and Event

Various innovative recycling and manufacturing technologies developed by the UNSW SMaRT Centre feature in the newly released Urban Futures Showcase Booklet.

The Booklet outlines some of UNSW's 75 innovations for the urban environment, in the leadup to the third and final event in the UNSW Futures Expo Series 2024 which focuses on green technologies that align with the National Reconstruction Fund (NRF) priorities.

The expo is a chance for businesses, investors, and government bodies to discover more than 100 innovations that span climate resilience, decarbonisation, renewable technologies, green fuels, electrification, the energy transition and more.

Explore a blend of interactive displays and deep-dive breakout sessions and connect with like-minded professionals over drinks and OzHarvest food rescue catering.

There will be information about the journey from lab to market in relation to a number of technologies developed by the UNSW SMaRT Centre, including the commercialisation of SMaRT's various MICROfactorie^TM technologies.

Event information and registration

SMaRT Director Prof Veena is the Lead of the Recycling stream of the TRaCE prorgram, a $280 million collaboration between the University of New South Wales, the University of Newcastle, industry partners and the Australian Government to support Australia’s transition to net zero by 2050.

One of the first advances under TRaCE in a new partnership between Jamestrong, a regional manufacturer of metal cans for leading Australian and international brands, and the UNSW SMaRT Centre, is the development of a ground-breaking project using SMaRT Green Aluminium technology to revolutionise aluminium manufacturing and recycling in Australia.

Another technology developed by SMaRT and being commercialised under licence by Kandui Technologies, the Green Ceramics MICROfactorie^TM Technology, will also feature at the Expo.

Both of the above technologies are included in the the recently released UNSW Future Climate booklet (see pages 54 and 57).
