    PhD Studentship: Sustainable Processes - Birmingham, United Kingdom - University of Birmingham

    University of Birmingham Birmingham, United Kingdom

    Found in: beBee S2 UK - 5 days ago

    Default job background
    Full time, Fixed-Term/Contract
    Description
    The burden of medical plastic waste has become an increasingly pressing concern in recent years.

    The healthcare industry relies heavily on single-use plastic items due to their convenience and hygiene factors, but this has led to a significant environmental problem.

    Improper disposal and inadequate recycling of medical plastics contribute to pollution, ecosystem degradation, and potential harm to human health.

    This multidimensional project aims to look at the impact of sterilisation on medical plastic waste and work with a larger project team to develop technologies and processes which could eliminate single use plastics, and instead allow them to be used multiple times, not only reducing cost to the NHS but also reducing the environmental burden of plastic waste.

    We are seeking a passionate PhD candidate to contribute to a highly translational project focused on assessing the impact of sterilisation on the usability of medical plastic waste and in turn looking at ways in which it could be assessed within healthcare settings.

    This project is part of a larger national project which aims to revolutionise the way in which medical plastic waste is handled in the future.

    The ideal candidate will have an undergraduate degree in a relevant subject area (Engineering, chemistry, materials science, healthcare technologies etc) and have some experience of laboratory practices and data analysis.


    If you are interested, please get in touch with Dr Anita Ghag ) to discuss further.
