Resilience, from hype to real-world impact

Camille Fournier (PhD Student at ETH Zurich)

This talk will tell a story that relates to my scientific journey around the issues of resilience. I'll introduce the concept of resilience as we use it in ecology, and discuss how that relates to a broader societal resilience (or sustainability). Finally, I want to open a discussion about the place of climate and environmental scientists in society.

The Conundrum of Plastic Recycling: between Myth and Reality

Alberto Arcà (Doctoral Candidate at ETH Zürich - DMTEC - SusTec Group)

Challenges and opportunities of plastic recycling on a general level, with some more specific details regarding the automotive sector. Furthermore, I want to deep-dive on established and emerging recycling technologies, showing the key role of value-chain and systems of waste management.
