Free on the 23rd Oct? Attend our Industrial Meeting on how we can improve the sustainability of plastic processing by taking inspiration from nature. Free to attend and a great chance to meet like-minded professionals

How do we know if something is sustainable? Life cycle analysis is one way, but you've probably never heard of it. Find out all about LCA in this interview with the magnificent Dr Rukkaya Ibrahim Muazu.

It's live! The programme for our industrial summit happening next week is here - tickets are still available here and you can get them here - tiny.cc/FLIPT

remember, the password is 'silk'!

I will be speaking at the FLIPT event in Sheffield on 23 October. Do sign up still time to contribute and learn more on dealing with plastics Bioladies Network @BioVale_Cluster BIOVOICES @NNFCC Woolcool® Chris Holland FLIPT

We have a great host of speakers for next week - you don't want to miss this event!

Only a week until our industrial summit which brings together research in plastic processing and experts from a range of industries to tackle plastic pollutions! A few tickets are remaining and you can get them here -> tiny.cc/FLIPT just enter 'silk'!

Time and tickets are running out fast for our Industrial summit this Wednesday. To learn about the groundbreaking research surrounding sustainable plastic processing, happening across Europe, get tickets at tiny.cc/FLIPT and enter 'silk'

Liquid N2 ice cream demonstration during lunchtime at our final FLIPT meeting by Anthony J Ryan OBE - explaining the science behind the food🍦

Prof. Fritz Vollrath kicking off our Industrial Summit, talking about the lessons we can learn from nature, specifically the silk spinning process from spiders and silk worms! #sustainable #plastic

Using analytical techniques, such as NMR, allows us to determine how the structure of polymers impacts their mechanical and processing properties! Great talk from Thomas Vosegaard @[email protected]

Great talk from Iris about how the UK and EU have developed policy around tackling #plasticwaste and the surrounding research

Kicking off again after lunch with Anthony J Ryan OBE speaking about how modified celluloses (the most abundant polymer on earth) can be a synthetic version of silk for a variety of uses!

Up next is @CrisSiPereira talking about other naturally occurring polymers, suberin and cutein, as feedstocks for new materials #plasticrevolution

Thanks to Alex Spintex for a great talk about starting a company based on research developed in UK universities
