In a gala event last night, at the CRC Association Conference in Brisbane, the Cooperative Research Centre for Polymers was awarded the Excellence in Innovation Award, for its work on biodegradable polymer films for agricultural applications. ANSTO is a core member of the CRC for Polymers, along with various industrial partners, universities and CSIRO.
Our own Chris Garvey was a member of the large interdisciplinary team that developed the technology.
For more details, see the press release by the CRC for Polymers. A video on the research and development behind the work is also available.
