emissions and prevented waste from being diverted towards landfills. This also will continue to be favorable as the world is rapidly de-carbonizing. Sahajwalla has continued to work with Australian steel corporations OneSteel and MolyCop to further the development of polymer injection technology. Green Steel technology has now been implemented into global steel-making operations globally. This innovation has made Australia a leader in low-emission steel making. This Green Steel movement has earned Sahajwalla many awards and grants which have aided her in continuing environmental research. This Project has also earned her international recognition which landed her positions on multiple government organizations focusing on climate change. Her Green Steel process has also been listed as one of the “innovations that could change the way we manufacture” by the US Society for Manufacturing Engineers in 2012. This innovation also won Sahajwalla the Australian Innovation Challenge in the same year. Her innovation in green steel technology also has earned her the 2019 BHERT (Business Higher Education Round Table) Award. Micro-factories Sahajwalla is also known for innovating micro-factories. She discovered that small scale factories that were comprised one or more specialized machines were much more sustainable. Factories of this scale could be implemented in existing manufacturing businesses to recycle available waste. She launched her first micro-factory at the Sustainable Materials Research and Technology (SMaRT) Lab based at the University of New South Wales Kensington Campus in 2018. Her first micro-factory was focused on recycling e-waste from old technology. She found that technological waste housed many precious metals and rare earth minerals. This micro-factory salvaged gold, electrical conductors, and many other rare materials. After collecting these materials, she processed them through thermal techniques so that they could be recycled in new technology. Glass and Plastic used in electronics could also be melted down and used in industrial-grade ceramics and plastic filaments in 3D printing. This new concept revolutionized the recycling process for e-waste. Her contributions to this new e-waste recycling technology allowed her to continue to open new micro-factories targeted at recycling different materials. Sahajwalla’s second micro factory was launched in 2019 targeting the recycling of glass and textiles into green ceramics. Glass is one of the easiest materials to recycle but due to the expensive nature of recycling, many countries tend to stockpile it instead. This process is expensive to do cross contamination of glass with lids and labels. Sahajwalla's recycling method eliminates the need
