Humanitarian aid saves lives. But what happens to the waste it leaves behind?
This is the challenge behind #ANIPH_eu, which is developing wound dressings and #packaging designed for programmed biodegradation, to reduce long term environmental harm in humanitarian settings and beyond.
#biobased
Meet Marianna Kotzabasaki at the #ANIPH_eu × MAGICBIOMAT webinar. She will show how AI can predict biodegradability, toxicity and physicochemical properties in PHA-based biopolymers, helping speed up sustainable material design.
