Haverhill, MA — LexMar Global Inc. is pleased to announce a successful collaboration with the Department of Biosystems Engineering at the University of Manitoba and the Department of Polymers at the University of Chemistry and Technology, Prague. This joint research effort aims to combat the growing plastic waste crisis by advancing the understanding of bacterial degradation mechanisms in low-density polyethylene (LDPE). The collaboration combines the bioengineering expertise of Dr. David Levin and Trinh Nguyen, the polyolefin characterization proficiency of Dr. Jan Merna, and leverages the NMR relaxometry expertise of LexMar Global to better analyze structural changes in LDPE during biodegradation.
