At the closing event of the joint initiative “A Sustainable Agenda for Messina 2025: a prototype in the VI district”, Professor Annamaria Visco, scientific director of LIFE RESTART for UNIME and lecturer in Materials Science and Technology at the Department of Engineering, spoke on the topic of “Waste recycling: sustainable management of bioplastics and agri-food waste”.
The audience (consisting of the head teacher, teachers and pupils of the 19th comprehensive school “Evemero da Messina”, as well as representatives of the VI district of Messina, Proloco, Sicindustria, and colleagues from the Department of Engineering) showed great attention and interest in seeing the results achieved within the LIFE RESTART project.

Many congratulated the team on their work and the importance of the content, emphasising the value of disseminating the research results through the continuous and relentless awareness-raising and dissemination activities undertaken by UNIME over the course of the three-year project, which is now coming to an end.
Many young people visited the exhibition stand, showing curiosity and interest in the process of transforming agri-food waste materials and in the prototypes of objects created during the LIFE RESTART project by partners and stakeholders, illustrated by collaborators, engineers Gianmarco Sindona, Salim Brahimi and Solomon Dufera Tolcha (UNIME Department of Engineering).
