Sebastián Coba Daza

Sebastián is a Researcher in the Circularising Plastics in Healthcare project, a collaborative Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) between the University of Manchester and Vernacare. His work focuses on developing strategies to improve the recycling and reuse of polymer materials in healthcare applications, combining industrial innovation with academic research. His expertise includes polymer characterization, studying crystallization behaviour, mechanical properties, morphology, and rheology.

He completed his PhD in Applied Chemistry and Polymeric Materials at the University of the Basque Country in collaboration with Borealis as part of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA), focusing on advanced recycling approaches for polymer waste. He holds a BSc in Chemical Engineering from Universidad Jorge Tadeo Lozano (2017) and an MSc in Nanostructured Materials for Nanotechnology Applications from the University of Zaragoza (2019). Passionate about sustainability and circular economy principles, he aims to develop practical solutions for plastic waste management within industrial settings.
