The Rector of the Universitat Jaume I, Eva Alcón, and the President of UBE Corporation Europe, José Ignacio Iglesias Nebreda, have signed the renewal of the UBE Chair in Sustainable Plastics, reaffirming their commitment to sustainability and strengthening the ties between the university and the company.

During this new phase, the Chair will continue to focus its activity on three fundamental pillars: training, dissemination and research, with actions aimed at different audiences and groups.

In the field of training, the call for the UBE Plastics Sustainability Awards, which will reach its fourth edition in 2025, stands out, as well as educational activities such as the school competition “We make plastic circular”, aimed at primary school students in Castelló, or the talk “How do you recycle plastics?”, aimed at secondary school students. A new addition is a training course for trainers on the sustainability of plastic materials, organized jointly with CEFIRE. In addition, work is underway to organize a joint conference with the AIMPLAS Chair of the University of Valencia on the topic of “Plastics in Europe”.

In the field of dissemination and knowledge transfer, the second edition of the “Sea without plastics” project, which will take place in 2025 and which seeks to raise awareness of the impact of plastic on seas and oceans, while promoting sustainable actions to address this problem, is particularly noteworthy.

In terms of research, the Chair will continue to promote innovation through the annual call for the UBE Chair in Sustainable Plastics grant for research into the sustainability of polymer materials.

Also present at the signing ceremony, on behalf of the UJI, were the Vice-Rector for Research, Jesús Lancis; the Vice-Rector for Innovation, Transfer and Scientific Dissemination, David Cabedo; the Chair's Director, Luis Cabedo; and Chair members José Gámez and Estefanía Sánchez. On behalf of the company UBE, the director of the Industrial Transformation Unit, Raül Sangròs, was present.

The UBE Chair in Sustainable Plastics at the Universitat Jaume I arises from the common interest of the UJI and UBE in using scientific and technical knowledge to help improve sustainability.
