About this Event
April 22 is Earth Day – Join us as we hear from Dr. Aman Ullah about his work to reduce waste by-products in the poultry industry. Spent hens and poultry feathers are considered as a waste by-product because their existing uses are economically marginal and they contribute to environmental pollution due to the disposal problems. Over the last 9 years, Dr. Ullah’s lab has developed novel materials using poultry byproducts such as biosorbents for water treatment, biochemicals and high performance hybrid bio/nanocomposites for packaging and other industrial applications. This webinar will provide a comprehensive overview of byproduct utilization and sustainable...
