Brief Innovation
RW4US is a research team led by Professor Richard Yang and Dr Tosin Famakinwa from Western Sydney University. They have received prestigious funding from CSIRO and the NSF for their project on sustainable materials and circular economies. The team focus on 3D printing recycled thermoplastics to create zero-waste designs and manufacturing technologies. Their goal is to repurpose local plastic waste and promote environmentally friendly practices. The project aligns with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and showcases the university’s commitment to making a positive global impact.
