SUMMARY:Town Talk: Mining Plastic-Changing the Narrative from Waste to Resource
DESCRIPTION:Plastic waste is piling up\, with projections estimating 25 billion tons by 2050—most of it ending up in landfills or the environment. Traditional mechanical recycling falls short\, with only a tiny fraction of plastics truly recycled into similar products. This Town Talk challenges us to rethink plastic not as waste\, but as a valuable resource. Learn how chemists are working to “mine” used plastics for their chemical and energy potential\, turning trash into tools for a more sustainable future. \nThis Town Talk will be presented by Michael McGuirk\, Associate Professor of Chemistry at Colorado School of Mines.  \nTown Talks will be held on Tuesdays at the Telluride Conference Center in Mountain Village June 3 to August 12 (with the exception of July 1). Doors open at 6 pm and the program starts at 6:30 pm. Free and open to the public. \nThanks to our title sponsor Alpine Bank and Telluride Mountain Village Owner’s Association.
