Title: Industry and the circular economy

General

Q: The future of industry is all about automation.
A: false
If right: CORRECT: Automation and digitalisation are essential to the future of every industry but there's a lot more to it than that. The projects highlighted in this section are big on biobased materials and recycling, which together can help us toward a low-ressource, carbon-neutral future.
If wrong: NICE TRY: Automation and digitalisation are essential to the future of every industry but there's a lot more to it than that. The projects highlighted in this section are big on biobased materials and recycling, which together can help us toward a low-ressource, carbon-neutral future.

DEMETO

Q: Which technology features in our list is a way to turn plastics back into useful raw materials?
- Microwaves (NICE TRY: but it's microwaves that the DEMETO waste back into its compenent chemicals. Ocean waves certainly have a role in green power,but gravitational waves ? Let's leave them to the astrophysicists for the moment.)
- Gravity waves (NICE TRY: but it's microwaves that the DEMETO waste back into its compenent chemicals. Ocean waves certainly have a role in green power,but gravitational waves ? Let's leave them to the astrophysicists for the moment.)
- Ocean Waves (correct) (CORRECT: The DEMETO project is using microwave energy to turn polyester waste back into its compenent chemicals. Of course, you could generate microwaves from ocean waves)

FLIPT

Q: Spiders can teach us how to eat insects.
A: false
If right: CORRECT: The FLIPT project looked at how spiders and silkworms make strong, biodegradable fibres using much less energy than today's textile factories need.
If wrong: NICE TRY: but spiders and silkworms have a lot to teach chemists and engineers about how to make strong, biodegradable fibres using much less energy than today's textile factories need.
