Narangerel Davaasuren1, Michael Batham2, Carl Boardman1 & Nicholas Turner2 1School of Engineering and Innovation. 2School of Life, Health and Chemical Sciences, STEM 

2 Plastics and FTIR Activity
How Fit to teaching S215. Chemistry Essential concepts. Functional groups and materials chemistry S350. Evaluating Contemporary Science Plastic materials Science behind recycling T868. (Post Grad. & L3 Under.). Environmental monitoring and protection Solid waste management – barriers to improved recycling Context/Activity Unknown mixed plastic waste consisting of 5 polymers Each polymer has a recycling value Student has to: Identify the different plastics using a FTIR instrument and basic chemistry Calculate the inherent value of the waste to provide a purchasing price
