Green & Sustainable Chemistry Conference

UNSW SMaRT Centre Director Prof Veena will be a keynote speaker at 2nd Australian Conference on Green and Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering on 11 December 2024.

Hosted by the Royal Australian Chemical Institute, Veena's speech is called "Harnessing the Potential of Recycled Materials - A smart vision for a sustainable future".

Veena will share her vision for a sustainable future, highlighting the importance of creating a circular economy and how using waste as a resource must be at the centre of our manufacturing future and innovative decarbonisation efforts, in collaboration between researchers and industry.

She will highlight that using innovations such as UNSW SMaRT Centre's recycling and MICROfactorie^TM 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.
