Michigan Technological University
The Sustainable Futures Institute was established at Michigan Technological University as an incubator for research, education and outreach efforts related to sustainability. SFI addresses sustainability from multiple disciplines - fitting the discipline to the challenge, rather than expecting the challenge to fit pre-established disciplinary methods. The institute is supporting Michigan’s plastics recycling future through a case study of a build out of a plastics recovery system that combines both mechanical and chemical recycling solutions.
