The Future of Plastic and Recycling Event April 12

The Green Bay Innovation Group welcomes George W. Huber from the UW Madison Engineering and Director of the Center for Chemical Upcycling of Waste Products (www.cuwp.org) as our guest speaker on April 12, 2023 presenting: The Present and Future of Plastic and Flexible Packaging Recycling plus 4 other speakers. To register, go to: www.greenbayinnovationgroup.com Events – The Future of Plastics Recycling Needs More Effective & Efficient Methods.

GBIG would like to introduce you to the OUTSTANDING individuals and Universities that are participating in the research of the STRAP PROJECT plus the update report: Recycling of Plastic Films through Solvent Targeted Recovery Precipitation.

Dr. Aurora del Carmen Munguia-Lopez: She is a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Currently, she participates in the Chemical Upcycling Waste Plastics(CUWP) center. Specifically, she works on developing computational frameworks for the economic and environmental analysis on the solvent-targeted recovery and participation (STRAP) process.

Zhuo Xu: Michigan Technological University Torrefaction & Pyrolysis of MSW Waste to energy a PHD Mechanical Engineering. He is currently a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Chemical & Biological Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His research focuses on upscaling the Solvent Targeted Recovery and Precipitation (STRAP) technology to recycle pure polymers from waste streams.

Kevin L. Sanchez-Rivera: Chemical Engineering PhD student in the Chemical and Biological Engineering Department at the University of Wisconsin Madison. His current work with Prof. George Huber is focusing on STRAP. Authored: Recycling of Multilayer Plastic Packaging Materials by Solvent-Targeted Recovery and Precipitation.

Kevin Nelson – University of Wisconsin-Madison BSChE Chemical Engineering graduate. He is a senior engineering fellow at Amcor and advisory board member, and UW Wisconsin College of Engineering alumni. Amcor is a global packaging company with over 5,000 employees working in Wisconsin, aiming to have packaging products recyclable and reusable by 2025.
