Waste plastic is a growing problem in Australia and elsewhere in the world. Many plastics are uneconomic to process using conventional physical recycling technologies.
Recent advances have already demonstrated that thermochemical approaches can convert waste contaminated plastic into a feedstock for remanufacturing plastic.
The Scale-up, Optimisation and Modelling of Chemical Recycling of Mixed Waste Plastics Postgraduate Research Scholarship has been established to provide financial assistance to PhD students who are undertaking research in using advanced engineering reactors to become the next generation of processing technology that specifically targets the conversion of mixed and contaminated (non-recyclable), post-consumer waste plastic into feedstock materials for the virgin plastics manufacturing industry.
