How Do You Turn Crude Oil into Plastic Bags?
Join Dr Alan McCue to discover how we make plastic bags. Black crude oil is extracted from the North Sea and a transformation occurs in a number of steps which all requires the use of a magical catalyst. The talk will explain what these catalysts are and how they function in order to produce plastic bags. After all of this you may not mind paying 5p for a plastic bag!
This event is FREE, No booking required.
