This innovation enables mono-material PET packaging. The team is surveying the public on their perception of one version<br \/>\nof these new caps to validate Origin\u2019s design direction. Concurrently, the team is also<br \/>\ninvestigating expected advantages to existing plastic recycling processes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Origin Materials Engineering\/Climate, 2023\u201324 Liaison(s): Jay Hanan, Sam Najjar, Jane Marlin, Rachel Hess, Zachary Cain Advisor(s): Whitney Fowler Students(s): Brayden [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[708,705,164],"tags":[728],"class_list":["post-14065","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-climate-2","category-climate","category-engineering","tag-origin-materials"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14065","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14065"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14065\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14090,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14065\/revisions\/14090"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14065"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14065"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14065"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
