Recycling Today reported that the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation awarded UB $4.5 million to create a state Center for Plastic Recycling Research and Innovation at UB.
The center will be led by Amit Goyal, SUNY Distinguished Professor in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering.
“Plastics are the single-biggest problem humanity faces because we can’t live without them,” Goyal says. “Plastics are a material, or a family of material, which we cannot live without. Their usage is increasing and not decreasing.”
