🌏 Science at the other end of the world
Benedikt Hiller & David Krieg from Hof University’s ibp presented their research on sustainable plastics at the PPS-40 Conference in Auckland. After 38 hours of travel, they shared insights, discussed innovations – and explored New Zealand’s culture along the way. 🌿

The circular economy is a key building block for a sustainable future. This is precisely where the "TechCirclePolymers" technology transfer project of the ibp at Hof University of Applied Sciences comes in: It aims to improve the recycling of plastics and biopolymers.
🗓️ On April 1, Dr. Robert Daschner will present new developments and approaches for climate-friendly #plastics in Vienna: The UMSICHT research scientist will give a lecture at the “Biopolymers and Beyond” conference, organized by Biobase. Specifically, he will address the use of biomass waste as a starting material for steam crackers.

Mirror life (mirror bacteria)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_life
* mirror-image life
* hypothetical form of life w. mirror-reflected molecular building blocks
* e.g. bacteria made of components that natural cells possess, but w. every biopolymer being of opp. stereochemistry
Comments:
* fascinating stuff; huge potential

A group of researchers is on the way to revolutionizing what biomass from wastewater treatment plants can be used for. Biopolymers from bacteria can be a sustainable alternative to oil-based products, and phosphorus and other minerals can also be harvested from the wastewater. A new scientific article says that the research is now so far advanced that it is ready for industrial production and use in practice. The study is published in the journal Current Opinion in Biotechnology.
