Overview

Our project has many different aspects and we would like you to see them all. So you do not miss anything here is a brief overview to help you get orientated.

Plasticity

Achievements

We have proven that MG1655 can live and flourish in SRF.

A Project for the World Today

We have consulted with many different people and organisations in the course of the project. All have helped shape what we have done. We have spoken to waste recovery companies, bioplastic producers and the waste management team for the Greater London Authority. This has ensured that we are producing an appropriate solution to a genuine problem in a commercially realistic way.

A Project for the World Tomorrow

Technologies change us and we change technologies. We have carefully considered how our system will be received and how it might change with the future needs of society.

Waste management requires more than technological solutions

Through discussions with social scientists and waste management legislators we have discovered that solutions to deal with waste after it has been produced are only part of the solution to the waste issue. This has led us to devise several methods by which we can communicate the need to reduce the production of waste in the first place.

Collaborations

We have collaborated with several different teams throughout the competition.
