On October 8-19, 2024, the University of Aalborg showcased the UPLIFT project during the 2nd Carbios international conference dedicated to scientific advances in the field of enzyme-catalyzed plastic recovery in Toulouse, France.
The event brought leading scientists and industry experts from around the world to share their latest discoveries and achievements. This was a unique opportunity to exchange knowledge, foster innovation, and pave the way for sustainable development. The conference was open to active participants in the scientific community of the field through several activities.
There, our project coordinator Cristiano Varrone gave a flash presentation about the enzymatic hydrolysis of Polyethylene Furanoate (PEF) using polyester hydrolases while Virender Kumar presented UPLIFT through a poster presentation.
The conference revolved around how commodity plastics are essential in various industries, yet their end-of-life mismanagement is a significant contributor to global pollution. Over the last decade, groundbreaking advancements have been made in enzyme-catalyzed plastic recovery, offering innovative solutions to this pressing issue. The event was a useful dissemination opportunity to present the latest results of the UPLIFT project.
