On November 14, our colleague Zainab Ul Kausar, PhD candidate at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB), a consortium partner in the VIVALDI project, presented her research at #VEUS2024, UAB’s science outreach event. In a 10-minute talk titled “Transforming CO₂: From Waste to Resource”, Zainab introduced part of her innovative work within the VIVALDI project. She showcased how science can unlock CO₂’s potential, turning it from a waste product into a valuable resource for producing sustainable bioplastics. While industrial application remains a challenge for the future, this research marks an exciting step toward a greener, more sustainable world. 🌱 We’re proud to see the VIVALDI project featured in a platform that encourages critical thinking and fosters a connection between science and society. Stay tuned for the full recording of Zainab’s talk, which will soon be available on UAB’s YouTube channel. 🎥 Find more about the event at https://bit.ly/4eMjMIL. #Sustainability #CO2Recycling #Bioplastics #HorizonEU

🎥 Looking Back: Circular Economy Spotlights 🌍♻️ As we approach the end of the year, it is the perfect time to reflect on the moments we have shared within CirculaTUM in 2024. One standout highlight?

We're proud to be associated with SRH Berlin University of Applied Sciences in shaping the sustainable recycling industry! ♻️ Founded just 2 years ago, we at ABCircular GmbH embarked on this journey with a fervent ambition to set new benchmarks. Our commitment to a greener future is exemplified by projects like ReGCell, recently presented at Woche der Umwelt hosted by Federal president of Germany and DBU Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt. ReGCell brings together #industry expertise with the bright minds of SRH Berlin University of Applied Sciences students, focusing on a #green_chemistry approach for #recycling #photovoltaic modules. This collaboration fosters the next generation of leaders in recycling #technology and the #circular_economy, through initiatives like #research, #training, and #workshops. We're developing a plan to build a #recycling_plant here in the Berlin-Brandenburg region to implement our new recycling technology. We recently submitted a funding application with Kiran Gulia from the University of Wolverhampton and Dr. Brian Johnston from iBiotech LTD who are experts in #additive_manufacturing. Together, we'll use the funding to develop a new #3D_printing method to create #flexible_solar modules from the raw materials we recover. This will bring us closer to a #closed_loop_system. We strongly believe that a #circular_economy, built on close industry-academia collaboration, is the key to a sustainable future. https://lnkd.in/e52BnUv7

🏢 The Arizona State University Research Park marks its 40th anniversary as the university’s original Innovation Zone, fostering collaboration between the university and the private sector around their knowledge assets.    🌱 In 1956, the Arizona State College Foundation acquired 320 acres of land for experimental agriculture, setting the stage for the future ASU Research Park at Elliot Road and Loop 101 in Tempe.
