A Note From Marty Ochs
Green Bay Innovation Group has built a tremendous partnership with the University of Wisconsin Engineering Department. The Chemical Upcycling of Waste Plastics (CUWP) provides technical, environmental, and economic information on chemical recycling and plastic waste. CUWP held its Annual Meeting at the College of Engineering May 13-15 with an impressive agenda.
The CUWP is a $10M multi-university center funded by the Department of Energy with UW-Madison leading the way. George Huber, Professor of Chemical and Biological Engineering at UW-Madison, is the Executive Director of CUWP, developing STRAP technologies for hard-to-recycle multilayer films in packaging. The industry will need to work and develop solutions for recycling and the development of new plastic and packaging materials.
