This research tackles the environmental impact of plastic waste by improving the recyclability of coated paper products such as paper cups. By comparing global recycling methods and equipment, the study identifies factors affecting fibre recovery and develops a reliable lab-based protocol to evaluate coated paper recyclability, supporting greener packaging solutions.

My research develops green membrane technologies to extract and recycle lithium sustainably. By selectively filtering lithium ions from complex mixtures without heavy chemical or energy inputs, these membranes offer an alternative to current waste-intensive methods. The goal is to make the lithium supply chain as clean and sustainable as the renewable future it supports.
