The Green Bay Innovation Group would like to thank our host George W. Huber Professor at the University of Wisconsin Madison, and his staff for putting together a world class agenda with over 100 plus attendees. In addition, we want to thank over 15 presenters from Universities across the USA. The meeting had invited guests from across the world to learn about the STRAP technologies and its impact on hard to recycle plastics. Ezra Bar-Ziv Chemical Engineering at Michigan Technology University was a guest speaker who has developed a solvent-based technology for the extraction of single pure resins of food quality. The technology is called Solvent Targeted Recovery and Precipitation (STRAP). MTU is building the NOVEL SOLVENT-BASED RECYLING TECHNOLOGY: FROM THEORY TO A PILOT PLANT.
The Green Bay Innovation will be working with the UW Wisconsin, Michigan Technology University and Convergen Energy to build a plant in Green Bay. GBIG will be setting up a donation site to support the project. Green Bay is an ideal site due to the large number of flexible packaging, plastics and converters concentrated in Northeastern Wisconsin.
