ARC Training Centre in Bioplastics and Biocomposites (2022-2027)
Abstract
There is unprecedented growth in demand for bioderived and biodegradable materials. This Training Centre in Bioplastics and Biocomposites will capitalise on Australia's abundance of the requisite natural bioresources to drive advances in technology for the development of bioplastic and biocomposite products for the new bioeconomy. The aim is to deliver leading edge research with a holistic focus on technical, social, policy and end-of-life solutions, training a cohort of industry ready research specialists to underpin Australia's transition to a globally significant bioplastics and biocomposites industry, while at the same time laying the foundations for accelerated growth in this space.
