Research Spotlight
Look into the future of plastics. To prevent further damage to our environment, many companies and governments in the value chain are moving away from single-use plastic materials such as thermoplastics and thermosets that are hard to repurpose. IMRE’s scientists are working towards a solution in developing new plastics of the future using vitrimers to repurpose plastics over and over again instead of incinerating and dumping them in landfills.
