This requires a complete change in design thinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this presentation we will look at how the introduction of woven fibre fused together with recycled soft plastics can create a whole new design language for the manufacture of plastic parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Presentation by Associate Professor Geoff Germon (Talon Technology Pty Ltd)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":186,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"nba-redirect":"","footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[6],"tags":[19,36,21,5],"class_list":["post-1627","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-presentations","tag-circular-economy","tag-design","tag-plastic-waste","tag-plastics"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 -
