An upcycling initiative is using innovative methods of repurposing waste materials, such as fatbergs, and transforming them into valuable products like perfume. Fatbergs are accumulated lumps of fat from cooking oils and other food waste that people put down their drains. Professor Wallace and his team are exploring ways to extract useful components from these fatbergs for various applications. This approach not only intends to address waste management challenges but also contributes to sustainability by transforming waste into useful products. The initiative highlights the potential of such innovative solutions in driving a new industrial revolution focused on sustainability and resource efficiency.
