We could use bio waste instead of mineral oil to produce plastic. Is this a modern fairy tale or already a reality? In her TEDx Talk, Andrea explains how we are already able to produce plastic from sources like chicory roots or grass and shares her vision & concepts for on-farm biorefineries that help to recycle nutrients in a sustainable way. Andrea Kruse studied chemistry at the University of Heidelberg and after having received her Ph.D. at the University of Heidelberg and the Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe (KIT today), she became junior group leader and later group leader in Karlsruhe. For her habilitation at the University of Darmstadt, Andrea focused on new concepts for the production of hydrogen from carbohydrates, one of the major components of biomass. Since 2012, Andrea is a professor for conversion technologies of bio-based resources at the University Hohenheim and has, among other research focuses, great interest in the conversion of biomass into basic chemicals and energy carriers. Besides her research efforts and lectures, Andrea is board member of a variety of committees and institutes as e.g. the Deutsches Biomasseforschungszentrum (DBFZ) in Leipzig.
