In addition to the use of waste, our method is characterized by a lower carbon footprint\u201d,\u00a0 says team member Aleksander Peryt.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polsl.pl\/ps_aktualnosci\/studenci-politechniki-slaskiej-w-finale-miedzynarodowego-konkursu-eureca-pro\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.polsl.pl\/ps_aktualnosci\/studenci-politechniki-slaskiej-w-finale-miedzynarodowego-konkursu-eureca-pro\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Students of the Faculty of Materials Science and Engineering of the Silesian University of Technology reached the finals of the international competition &#8220;STEM Innovation Contest&#8221; under EURECA-PRO.
