We are happy to invite you to the Utrecht University 'Science for Sustainability Café' which will be centered around the theme of 'Plastic Waste'.
Date and time: 31 January 2023 - 15:30-18.00 h
Location: Vening Meinesz building A, Grand Café (on the left behind the cafeteria), Utrecht University, Princetonlaan 6, 3584 CB Utrecht

The theme of this café is 'Plastic Waste'. During the café, we will discuss and connect different perspectives on plastic waste. Researchers from within the Faculty of Science and Geosciences will share their insights on plastic waste in the ocean, Life Cycle Analysis of plastics, recycling of plastics, and new types of plastics. After the presentations, there will be a panel discussion on these different perspectives and on how this research can lead to solutions and impact. The audience is also explicitly invited to join the discussion! We aim to integrate all perspectives visually on a board to stimulate finding new links for future research collaboration. After the discussion, there will be time to meet each other and discuss this many-sided theme with some drinks and snacks.
