The next Alex Hopkins memorial lecture will be held Friday 22 March from 5pm - 6:15pm in the BMS lecture theatre.
The lecture will be given by Professor Marta E. G. Mosquera from the Universidad de Alcala, Spain.
For humankind, materials have defined ages: there was the Stone Age, the Bronze Age, the Iron Age....
These days plastics are the key materials for developing our technology and our standard of life. But is it possible to do without the Plastic Age?
In this talk, Professor Mosquera will explore alternatives to plastic how to make plastics more sustainable, the 'elephant in the room.'
