Center for Biomolecular Structure Lecture Series

"Developing new chemical recycling approaches for waste plastics"

Presented by Gregg T. Beckham, National Renewable Energy Laboratory

Wednesday, October 19, 2022, 1:30 pm — Videoconference / Virtual Event (see link below)

This talk will cover work from the DOE-funded BOTTLE Consortium, which focuses on recycling, upcycling, and redesign of plastics. Our work on enzymes for polyester depolymerization will be covered, specifically focusing on the discovery of new thermophilic enzymes from natural diversity, coupled to the innovations that have been predicted from process analysis and life cycle assessment. Additionally, this talk will highlight a new approach from the BOTTLE team that combines chemical catalysis and biological funneling towards the conversion of mixed plastics waste to a single, valuable product.

Hosted by: Vivian Stojanoff
