Topic Overview:

This lecture, conducted by RCRE/PAIR, will provide an exploration of valorisation of waste tyre and plastics, and other organic wastes for pavement construction and value-added chemicals and multi-functional biochar, biorefinery for biofuel and other valuable products. Participants will engage in expert-led discussions on the latest research and emerging technologies.

Key Topics:

Turning wastes into sustainable road paving materials
Construction of urban biorefinery converting waste into high value bioproducts
Nature-based solutions in urban development and urban renewal

Teaching Format:

This interactive session combines expert lectures, case studies, and Q&A discussions. Participants will critically assess new technologies for waste management and their applications, engaging in collaborative discussions.
