What Will It Take To Sustainably Recycle Our Plastic?
Recycling is a process that is much more complex than most people think. While our society is taking steps towards recycling more, it is important to keep refining our approach to it so that we can see sustainable results as we move forward.
Dr. Bill Carroll is an Adjunct Professor of Chemistry at Indiana, a Certified Professional Retirement Coach, and both Past President and Past Chair of the Board of the American Chemical Society. With 37 years of experience in the chemical industry, he uses his knowledge to research the science behind recycling and foster environmental advocacy.
Join us as Dr. Carroll discusses:
The process of recycling, and what it would take to further develop it. What “downcycling” is, and which products it’s applied to. What to do with materials that are not easily recyclable. How can we maximize the amount of recycling we do as a society? Dr. Carroll has a few clues for how to do this successfully and sustainably . . .

The Problem With Microplastics from the Ocean and the Structures of Nanoparticles with Orlin Velev and Nathan Crook
What makes the microplastic problem so hard to solve? With Varied sizes and states, this range of particles requires an interdisciplinary solution. Listen up to learn:
Why the microplastics problem requires a varied approach If nanoparticles' charge affects their ability to be broken down The factors that impact the degradation of microplastics Orlin Velev and Nathan Crook of NC State University share their interdisciplinary work to begin offering solutions to the problem of microplastics and nanoparticles in the environment.
Microplastics in the ocean have been causing issues for the environment far beyond what we understood in recent history. However, a solution is challenging to find since the problem cannot only be approached from one discipline.
Through the combination of efforts from various fields, new solutions are being tested and implemented in multiple environments. However, the ocean presents a unique problem since so many factors play a role in the degradation of plastics.

Microplastics and Contaminants - Their Impact on the Health of the Environment and Humans Worldwide with Elodie Passeport
What makes microplastics so dangerous? Since they can contaminate such a wide range of environments, their impact cannot be underestimated. Press play to learn:
A possible solution for microplastic contamination How photodegradation works The importance of naturalistic treatments Elodie Passeport, an Associate Professor at the University of Toronto, shares her work attempting to understand microplastics and how to break chemical bonds to combat their effect better.
Microplastics are one of the most significant threats in the contamination of natural environments around the world. However, they are tricky to combat, so new solutions with a diminished impact on the treated environment are being developed.
By implementing passive water treatment practices, a solution to the problem can be found through natural means. This is crucial since treating the problem while avoiding impacting the environment being treated is the key to successfully saving it.

Sustainable Cotton Manufacturing
Eco-friendly cotton manufacturing employs sustainable practices like organic farming, reduced water usage, and chemical-free processing. It helps mitigate environmental impact, conserves resources, and supports the well-being of workers. By prioritizing these practices, we can foster a more sustainable and responsible approach to cotton production. Great to listen that FIBRE52 are working on it.
