Director of CIEN-UC featured in Mega TV report on recycling and the environment

The Director of the Center for Research in Nanotechnology and Advanced Materials (CIEN-UC), Dr. César Sáez, professor at the Department of Chemical and Bioprocess Engineering of the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, participated in a news report broadcast by Mega, focused on the importance of recycling and its impact on the environment.

The report addressed recycling practices and the challenges faced by the country in waste management, highlighting the need to promote sustainable habits and greater environmental awareness.

At CIEN-UC, Dr. Sáez conducts applied research in the field of waste management and recovery, addressing challenges related to sustainability and the development of more efficient recycling processes. His work reflects the center’s commitment to technological transfer and to seeking solutions that connect materials science with the country’s environmental challenges.

Research on new materials and transformation processes plays a key role in improving recycling and reducing environmental impact. Understanding the physical and chemical properties of materials enables the optimization of their reuse, the development of more sustainable alternatives, and progress toward a more efficient circular economy.
