The Solving Plastic Waste CRC is focused on designing out plastic waste, supporting the transitions of companies in Australia’s plastics value chain to a circular and climate neutral plastic economy by 2030, and growing advanced manufacturing.
The plastic value chain is fundamental to advanced manufacturing, packaging, food, and groceries, as well as the waste and resource recovery sector. Through its activities, the CRC will contribute to the global competitiveness, productivity, and sustainability of Australian industry.
RMIT is a supporting partner of the Solving Plastic Waste CRC and will collaborate on projects and contribute to the CRC’s four research programs.
Materials and design
Plastics recovery and recycling
Education and training
Microplastics in agricultural soils
The CRC is a consortium of 44 partners comprising universities, other research organisations, and industry. Refer to Solving Plastic Waste’s list of core and supporting partners.
