The science of microplastics is advancing fast. Tour RTI's Microplastics Lab and get a firsthand look with Dr. Imari Walker-Franklin, co-author of the book Plastics, as she walks you through the lab's latest research looking into consumer products, environmental samples, and biological samples, the lab’s analytical tools, and a repository of microplastic samples.
The gap between a great idea and a working industrial process is where most sustainable and emerging technologies die. Tour RTI's Energy Systems Lab and RPX—one of the only privately-owned energy pilot facilities in the United States built to scale-up for advanced energy and industrial process technologies—and see how low-carbon fuels, chemical production technology, and advanced recycling technologies survive that journey.
