What happens to a fridge after it goes to waste?
What happens to old fridges? Is it possible to separate their parts? Will everything go to a landfill or are we able to reuse or recycle some parts? And why it is important for our Planet that all the garbage is not to be thrown away?
This talk will take place on Saturday, 6th November 2021, at 11:00, and will be part of the Open Day at Técnico Taguspark Campus. Paulo Ferrão, researcher and president of IN+ Center for Innovation, Technology and Policy Research, and Técnico professor, will be on site and will go live on Técnico Facebook to answer these questions.
Please send us your questions ahead of time to explicame@tecnico.ulisboa.pt or join us live on Facebook.
ABOUT THE TALKS
“Explain it like I’m 5 – talks at Técnico for children and other curious people of all ages” is designed for young people, opening a door to get to know Técnico research and to ask our scientists a question- even at a distance. Older people can come as well, if the children let them. The talks take place on Saturdays live on Facebook and can be watched later.
