Increased recycling of plastics by sensing and treating label contamination
The NSW Smart Sensing Network (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 seminar explores current research and development work being undertaken to tackle the challenges and to explore future directions. The event’s program is available here.

Parliamentary Secretary to the Premier, Gabrielle Upton MP will open the event.
