Planet vs Plastic: Solving our global waste problem

With over 380 million tonnes of plastic being produced per year and 500 billion plastic bags in 2023 alone, its safe to say we’re in dire need of innovative solutions to our global waste problem. To begin to tackle the issue, Southern Cross University has a range of research projects underway. From implementing circular economy principles to using AI in waste management. Professor Dirk Erler and Professor Andrew Rose from the University’s Zero Waste research cluster join us for a special Earth Day edition of the SCU Buzz podcast. The musical introduction to this podcast was written and performed by Alako Myles.
