Biomedical Engineering Recycling Project
Duquesne University Biomedical Engineering students developed a process that turns recycled plastic cups and 3-D prints into filament that can be used to print splints, braces and other medical devices. The process introduces no new plastic, creating waste-negative or zero-waste solutions.
Founded in 1878, Duquesne is consistently ranked among the nation's top Catholic universities for its award-winning faculty and tradition of academic excellence. Duquesne, a campus of nearly 9,500 graduate and undergraduate students, has been nationally recognized for its academic programs, community service and commitment to sustainability.
