Griffith University supports the Sustainable Development Goals
The Australian Repair Summit is an annual national Summit that brings together a wide range of stakeholders interested in or working in the repair sector, who genuinely want to engage in open and respectful dialogue; with industry, other sectors and the community at large about the legislative and policy changes…
1. Identify barriers and motives for each stakeholder to understand the factors that would facilitate changes to current practices for low valuable plastic waste management. 2. Explore how to introduce a new waste technology that could convert low valuable plastics from Cibubur East Jakarta City into an energy source.
This opportunity assessment (OA) will review the potential to maximise the benefits of improved energy technologies for Australian homes directly; and for providing grid support and the potential for smart algorithms, to assist customers to optimise energy choices.
Reducing emissions from restaurants is imperative to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Offering plant-based meats can reduce emissions from restaurants. This research identifies barriers preventing restaurants from offering plant-based meat dishes and segments restaurants based on identified barriers.
Switch Your Fish was a short campaign to challenge recreational fishers on the Sunshine Coast to enjoy a different range of fish to eat. The different species were Mahi Mahi, Cobia, and Amberjack; and the campaign was designed to take the pressure off other species including Snapper and Pearl Perch.
More than 350,000 chemicals and mixtures are currently registered for commercial use, ranging from pharmaceuticals, personal care products, pesticides, fire retardants, industrial compounds, and more. After use, many of these chemicals end up in the environment, whether from wastewater discharges, surface runoff or other point and non-point sources. Yet less…
Microplastics are small plastic particles…
Human activities release large quantities of wastewater to rivers and oceans. This wastewater often contains toxic chemicals, which can adversely affect living organisms. Our current methods to assess the toxicity of wastewater effluent are relatively insensitive and expensive, which means that monitoring is only infrequently conducted and is not protective…
The purpose of this project is to complete the beta-testing phase of a coagulation prediction model, for optimal performance at relevant SEQwater drinking water treatment plants, as well as appropriate end user training. This is to ensure the uptake of the research outputs of a recently completed ARC Linkage Project,…
Late in 2022, Griffith University launched a new Containers for Change collection program across its Nathan and Gold Coast campuses. Each bottle donated through the Containers for Change collection bins will raise funds for Griffith’s Brighter Futures Scholarship Program.
