Description

ARC Training Centre in Sustainable Materials and Responsible Technologies for Packaging (SMaRT-Pack). We seek to unite a group of researchers and organisations (industry, academia, government and NGOs) with a common goal of developing clearer standards around sustainable technologies and a more representative, environmentally responsible policy framework for packaging. This will encompass not only new materials, manufacturing and recycling methods, but also standards, measurement methods and policy insight concerning the recyclability and degradation of current and future packaging materials. We seek to understand authentically the role that different aspects of packaging materials and their life cycle have in both intended waste / recycling streams and within the broader terrestrial and marine environment.. Scheme: Industrial Transformation Training Centres. Field: 3006 - Food Sciences. Lead: Prof Gil Garnier
