18 Aug 2022 --- The University of Queensland (UQ), Australia, is set to become a hub for bioplastics research after receiving an AUD$13 million (US$9 million) grant for research into “green” plastics. The funding will be used in the university’s Australian Research Council Industrial Transformation Training Centre for Bioplastics and Biocomposites, based at UQ’s School of Chemical Engineering. The training center aims to make large-scale plastic pollution a “problem of the past.”
