The UNSW SMaRT Centre has made a detailed submission as part of the consultation process for the Australian Senate Community Affairs References Committee's "Inquiry into the Impact of Microplastics and other Toxics on Human Health"
UNSW SMaRT Centre researchers' have developed a novel carbon material, called m"icrozonal carbon" synthesized from waste hard rubber as a new type of anode material for next-generation lithium ion batteries (LIBs)
UNSW SMaRT Centre researchers' most recent study on microplastics has been published by the Royal Society of Chemistry and provides a toolkit to better understand environmental impacts of waste plastic particles.
A published UNSW SMaRT Centre research study demonstrates that SMaRT's "microrecycling" methods can recover essential metals from waste solar panels, usually destined for landfill and stockpiles.
UNSW SMaRT Centre researchers have had published a study into the latest research of metal recycling from e-waste, which shows the environmental, economic and social (circular economy) benefits that could be derived from using up-to-date recycling
UNSW SMaRT Centre researchers have had published a study revealing multiple research findings around valuable new uses for textile and other wastes as sources of activated carbon for essential “purification” materials
UNSW SMaRT Centre researchers are continuing their work on sharing their growing understanding of microplastic wastes as part of the Sustainable Communities and Waste Hub that the UNSW SMaRT Centre leads
UNSW SMaRT Centre researchers have had published a study revealing the impacts of microplastics generated from polypropylene bottles commonly used for infants and re-usable drinking
UNSW SMaRT Centre researcher and lecturer Dr Rumana Hossain has been recognised for her work in helping to develop Australia's first ever official standard to analyse microplastics in the environment
