By 2050, there will be more plastic in our oceans than marine life. And plastic has a notoriously long life in landfills. We meet entrepreneurs discovering new ways to retrieve plastic from our waterways, turning it into fuel or back into plastic again. Others look to reduce single-use plastic in our daily lives, by working on alternative materials.
Meet Nolene Byrne, who is finding ways to reduce textile waste and improve the way we recycle.
We face some big challenges as a community and as a globe. We are sharing stories that show how we can solve many of these challenges using Australian science and technology.
See how we can #SolveitwithScience.
