Commercialising Research for the Circular Economy
The Circular Economy is driving increased demand for impactful innovation from research. How can you create a more effective commercialisation journey in this multi-disciplinary sector?
Webinar 1
Circular Economy 1: Energy
This webinar will examine the opportunities for research translation and commercialisation
in two aspects as it relates to energy: technological innovations that enable energy to be
garnered from waste streams currently sent to landfill; and the recycling technologies
needed to recover critical metals and materials from renewable energy components.
Webinar 2
Circular Economy 2: Plastics
This webinar will investigate the issue of plastic waste and how research can be
commercialised to tackle the multifaceted challenge of plastic recycling to keep plastic in
the circular economy and out of waste streams. We will also explore the new opportunities
for plastic alternatives.
Webinar 3
Circular Economy 3: Manufacturing
Manufacturing industries play a crucial part in transitioning to circular economy practices.
This webinar will look at the opportunities for research translation in the development of
sustainable materials, and the key part research commercialisation can have in developing
innovative technologies to overcome scientific and engineering barriers.
Webinar 4
Circular Economy 4: Agriculture
Research innovation is needed in the agricultural sector as part of circular economy
adoption. Research innovations such as precision agriculture are leading to sustainable
agricultural practices and there are plentiful opportunities for research impact in developing
globally sustainable supply chain management systems from farmer to consumer.
Webinar 5
Circular Economy 5: Mineral Resources
The demand for critical minerals is increasing globally and the need has never been higher
to recover and recycle these resources from waste streams. Research can have impact
across the resources lifecycle with new extraction techniques to reduce mine waste and
improve yield, through to end-of-life recycling ensuring precious commodities are not lost.
