SMaRT Director Prof Veena is the Lead of the Recycling stream of the TRaCE prorgram, a $280 million collaboration between the University of New South Wales, the University of Newcastle, industry partners and the Australian Government to support Australia’s transition to net zero by 2050.
One of the first advances under TRaCE in a new partnership between Jamestrong, a regional manufacturer of metal cans for leading Australian and international brands, and the UNSW SMaRT Centre, is the development of a ground-breaking project using SMaRT Green Aluminium technology to revolutionise aluminium manufacturing and recycling in Australia.
