Louise Hardman is a Zoologist, Chemistry teacher, environmentalist and Plasticologist. After witnessing a small green turtle die a painful death from eating plastics in seagrass, she has dedicated herself to finding solutions for communities to prevent plastics entering the oceans.  After founding Plastic Collective in 2016, Louise and her team have delivered 8 recycling programs in remote and Indigenous communities throughout Australasia to profitably recover and recycle marine debris, ghost gear and kerbside plastics. Her \u20185R\u2019 philosophy starts with Rethink – changing the way we think about \u2018waste\u2019 and all materials.  PC designs and installs mobile containerised recycling equipment and delivers capacity-building educational training programs for communities can profitably turn rubbish into resources.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":164,"featured_media":308,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nba-redirect":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-225","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-speakers"],"yoast_head":"\nEnding Plastic Waste Symposium 2023<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Louise Hardman will be speaking at CSIRO\u2019s Ending Plastic Waste Symposium in May 2023.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/wp.csiro.au\/epws23\/louise-hardman-plastic-collective\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Louise Hardman, Plastic Collective -
