DESCRIPTION:\nThe School of Life Sciences and SV Sustainability are deligh
 ted to welcome Florian Breider\, Tiffany Abitbol\, and Felix Bobbink for t
 he 7th edition of the Sustainable Academy\, dedicated to the theme “The 
 Plastic Curse.” \n\nPlastic has become an integral part of our daily li
 ves. In fact\, it is now often more difficult to find objects without plas
 tic than with it. While plastic offers many advantages\, including its ver
 satility\, durability\, lightweight nature\, and low cost\, its production
  and disposal have significant environmental consequences. Plastic polluti
 on poses major threats to ecosystems\, biodiversity\, and human health.\n\
 nResearch activities\, particularly in the life sciences\, rely heavily on
  plastic because of its numerous practical benefits. However\, despite the
  challenges associated with managing plastic waste and closing material lo
 ops\, more sustainable materials and circular solutions are emerging. \n\
 nWhether you are a scientist\, student\, or simply curious about the issue
 \, this seminar will provide valuable insights into plastic use at EPFL\, 
 the impacts of plastic pollution on our environment and health\, promising
  alternative materials\, and innovative recycling approaches\, including a
  perspective on chemical recycling from Plastogaz. \n\n Don't miss out o
 n this unique opportunity to learn\, connect\, and be inspired! And don't 
 forget to register. \n
