Angelique Greene , PhD, is an interdisciplinary materials scientist and chemist who works toward the development of sustainable and smart composite materials using biobased feedstocks and green chemistry principles. Angelique is currently a Senior Polymer Scientist at Scion, a Crown Research Institute, where her work focuses on developing fast-degrading and truly compostable plastics through the use of embedded “plastic-eating-enzymes.” Additionally, Angelique also works on research related to biobased industrial adhesives/coatings and sustainable construction materials from high volume waste.
