Cool Paint

Cool Paint

An NTU research team has successfully developed new methods to create a type of “cool paint” using recycled plastics – namely acrylic, old PVC pipes and polystyrene foam – and barium sulphate, offering a sustainable and efficient alternative to new plastics. The NTU methods not only help in cooling temperatures in tropical environments, but also contribute to effective plastic waste management.

Recycling of Printed Circuit Boards

When printed circuit boards are recycling, only ~25% of the precious elements are recycled. At NTU Singapore-CEA Alliance for Research in Circular Economy (NTU SCARCE), we have developed a sorting tool based on elemental recognition which helps to recover more components.

CETRAN

ERI@N manages the Centre of Excellence for Testing & Research of AVs – NTU (CETRAN) which spearheads the development of testing requirements for AVs in Singapore.
