The plastics consumption is more than 300 mill. ton annually. This is around 10% of the oil and it contribute to landfill, ocean waste, increasing the amount of microplastics in the environment and carbon dioxide emissions. It is possible to recycle plastics fully (reuse, refurbish, recycle mechanically and chemical). To transform the current plastics, use towards recycling there are several barriers to overcome. This course will cover selected aspects shown in detail below. This year, the school is planned from August 22nd to 26th 2022 (from Monday to Friday). Targeted participants are Ph.D. candidates, Postdocs, and industrial engineers. THE SUMMER SCHOOL WILL FEATURE: An opening speech, given by Prof. Jesper de Claville Christiansen. A series of sixteen 45-min long lectures (total ~12 hours of theory), given by experts in fields of mechanical and chemical recycling, microplastics, supply chain and industry 5.0 Three inspiring invited talks given by experts from the industry. (Nynne Bjerre Christensen – Plastics Change Lego Anne Therese Four 6-hours long practice sessions, hosted by 4 different laboratories at AAU. A City-walk event through Aalborg downtown. An excursion to the wind turbine test center in Thy (Denmark’s west coast) THE FEE PER PERSON INCLUDES: 12 hours of lectures (16 x 45 min) from the principles to the emerging topics: L1.

Pedersen will welcome the participants. The reception will take place at the AAU canteen at Fibigerstræde 15, DK-9220 Aalborg East. Lunches: The lunches will be served at the AAU canteen at Kroghstræde 3 Guided city-walk: Some fellow Ph.D. students will guide for a walk through Aalborg downtown toward some of the city’s most famous sights. The walk starts at 7 PM at Jens Bangs Stenhus (link til map available soon) and will last about two hours. Registration contact: Kristian Østergaard Sørensen – krs@adm.aau.dk. Excursion: The excursion will take place at the wind-turbine test center in Thy, close to the windy west coast of Denmark. An expert will guide participants through the massive structures at the test center. The currently largest turbine at the center is an astonishing 222 meters rotor diameter.
