Plastics have become indispensable in various industries today, but their widespread use has resulted in a severe environmental crisis—plastic waste accumulation. Traditional methods of plastic waste management are insufficient and recycling faces quality and degradation challenges. Enter upcycling, a process gaining prominence in converting plastic waste into valuable chemicals and materials in an eco-friendly manner. TwInn4MicroUp presents an innovative approach to plastic waste upcycling, employing green bio/mechano/chemical technologies to recover plastic monomers. Modern molecular techniques will be utilized to create microbial cell factories capable of producing bioactive compounds from these plastic-derived feedstocks, revolutionizing industries related to bio-colorants, biotherapeutics, bio-nutraceuticals, biosurfactants, and biomaterials. TwInn4MicroUp is on a visionary mission to create the MicroUp HUB, an advanced Research and Innovation Hub in Synthetic Microbial Biotechnology. In our pursuit of maximal impact, we aim to establish strategic partnerships, strengthen NTUA's capabilities, enhance scientific excellence, and promote entrepreneurship and innovation. Our overarching goal is to establish NTUA at the core of the MicroUp HUB, leaving a lasting legacy by advancing scientific knowledge, environmental protection, public awareness, economic development, and global collaboration. Together, we are steering toward a sustainable and responsible future. ver más
