ARC Research Hub for Value-Added Processing of Underutilised Carbon Wastes (ARC ITRP administered by Monash University) (2024-2029)
Abstract
This Hub aims to advance upcycling technologies and associated regulatory and social engagement for processing underutilised carbon waste within Australia. Its anticipated goal is to deliver value-added products, and improved technology readiness levels for full exploitation of carbon wastes from agriculture, tyres and plastics. It will also train a large talent pool providing interdisciplinary knowledge and entrepreneurial skills for post-hub commercialisation. The Hub will benefit rural Australia by transforming local job markets and manufacturing capability. Ultimately, this Hub will make a significant contribution towards achieving Australia¿s National Waste Action Plan goal by 2030, and a circular economy for a sustainable future.
