Activated carbon- you can find it in food, face masks, water filters and even gold mines, but one Australian start-up is working to help activated carbon find is place in our circular economy.

This week, we’re looking at the activated carbon process and how research has transformed it from a coal-reliant product to a potential solution to recycling our environmental waste.

Join host Professor Andy Lowe in conversation with Dr Lewis Dunnigan, about what cleaner activated carbon means for consumers and how his start-up company, Bygen, has grown from this research.
