In this episode, host Julia MacGregor leads a panel discussion with four guests who are making an impact in circular plastics:
The panel discusses the different types of plastics, recycling methods, and the global plastics supply chain. We learn about the chemical challenges in recycling plastics, work APRA members like Triple Three Trading are doing to recycle plastics, and a student-led initiative to recycle Styrofoam used to package research equipment.
The panel also discusses actions you can take in your daily life to encourage smart plastic use, and tips and tricks for recycling plastics.
This episode was recorded live with an audience during Alumni All-Access 2025. Guests were invited by the university's Industry Liaison Office (Research), the team that facilitates and grows applied research partnerships between companies and researchers.
