Episode 39: Talking to Bongani Xaba about paper recycling and packaging
This episode is long overdue and I really couldn't wait to share it, but there was some technical difficulties on my side. The audio is not the best so please forgive!
However, I am sure you will enjoy this conversation that I had with Bongani, a technical service manager at MPACT paper R&D, Johannesburg, South Africa. We talk about electron microscopy, packaging and the recycling system and how MPACT is improving and building a protocol that can be utilized in South Africa. They also have training services that they can extend to students or supervisors of laboratories to learn how to discard and handle waste in safe and correct ways!
Hope you enjoy this episode!
