SOURCE-LINKED INTELLIGENCE
Empowering Innovation for a Sustainable Plastic Future
gagement with industry and policy actors. Each DC will tackle a critical aspect of the plastic life cycle, from the development of bio-based and indefinitely recyclable polymers to the integration of artificial intelligence for real-time process monitoring and optimization. Innovative approaches such as biocoloring, biocatalytic depolymerization, and eco-polymer film development will pave the way for high-performance, sustainable alternatives to plastics. Alongside technical advancements, SkillCirc will explore the social, economic, and policy dimensions of plastic use, including public attitudes, household practices, and policy narratives, ensuring that innovations are socially embedded and widely adopted. The program employs advanced training methodologies, including interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approaches, to equip DCs with a diverse skill set. Reflective practice, structured industry placements, and exposure to social scientific perspectives will prepare researchers to bridge the gap between laboratory discoveries and real-world applications.
