Part four of four of our industry exposition took place on Wednesday 8th December, when we met with Jill Martin, Global Sustainability Fellow and Nikhil Fernandes, Research Scientist, University Collaborations, Core R&D at Dow. Dow is one of the largest chemical producers in the world, manufacturing plastics, chemicals and agricultural products. The presentation went over Dow’s sustainability targets, the research areas they are interested in and the opportunities available to collaborate with Dow on sustainable solutions.
The aim of this event, which is part of our Global Challenge campaign on sustainable plastics, polymers and alternatives, was to uncover Dow’s top research priorities within the sustainable plastics space and what they are searching for from new academic partners.
