The Discovery Pod: Season 2, Episode 2

Welcome to The Discovery Pod, where we talk to leading experts from the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ of Adelaide about solutions to society’s most pressing challenges. 

Our march to sustainable living is gathering pace. With ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥â€™s environment ministers banning all single-use plastics from 2025, an explosion of eco-friendly alternatives is emerging. And similar innovation is taking place in the construction industry.

Join our host, Isobel Marshall, as she discusses everything from rye-stalk straws to fungi-based packaging and recycled bitumen, with two ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ of Adelaide experts: plant molecular biologist Professor Rachel Burton, and sustainable construction specialist Professor Jian Zuo.
