Keeping Glass Circular

Talk

Many products and components used in building and construction are made from materials that cannot be recycled at the end of their life. Researchers in the UTS Material Ecologies Design Lab (MEDL) have developed a novel ceramic material using recycled glass fines (small glass particles). This method transforms industrial waste into sustainable, low-embodied carbon building products that can be 100 per cent recycled at their end of life.

Representatives of the MEDL research team (Dr Stefan Lie, Professor Tim Schork, Ella Williams and Nahum McLean) will lead a conversation on industrial waste and demonstrate robotic 3D printing techniques that keep glass production circular.
