SAS and b-ACTmatter visit pupils in Lommatzsch
On August 6 and 7, Dr. Susanne Ebitsch, Managing Director of b-ACTmatter, and Thomas Wendland from the Saxon Agency for Structural Development GmbH SAS, visited the Lommatzscher secondary school for Nursing care for a talk on Circular Economy.
The aim was to familiarize the 8th and 9th grade students with the topic using the traveling exhibition “Circular economy from the perspective of Saxon research institutions” and the projects about enzymatic plastic recycling by the founding team ESTER Biotech and plastic production with slimy bacteria / algae-WGs by the junior research group BIOMAT of b-ACT matter. Together with the pupils, we discussed ideas on how everyone can contribute to a sustainable circular economy. The drinking cups and gardening tools made from bio-based plastic (PBS @ Exipnos) were particularly eye-catching. The circular economy has particularly great potential for successful structural development in the Free State of Saxony.
The aim was therefore also to sensitize the young generation to the importance of the circular economy and to provide initial insights into research and the future world of work.
Many thanks to the principal Ms. Gerlach and all the class teachers involved!
