https://www.umass.edu/downtown/news-eventsHave you ever wondered what really happens to a chip bag after you toss it? Have you thought about the hidden price we pay to keep those chips perfectly crispy? Join us to uncover the fate of multilayer plastic packaging and see how senior UMass Amherst Chemical Engineering students are designing innovative re/upcycling processes to turn multilayer plastics into valuable products.
Presented in partnership with the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering.
