Olivia Adly, an Egyptian researcher who invented a technology for plastic recycling, said that she graduated from the Faculty of Pharmacy, Ain Shams University in 2010, and she aspired to be appointed as a teaching assistant at the university, but she failed to be appointed because of the order of grades, which made her go to try to be appointed in private universities, not For the second time, she failed to find her dream job, and went to obtain a Nile University scholarship to obtain a master’s degree in nanotechnology, after her father encouraged her to study this new field, and succeeded in obtaining the scholarship with 20 others out of 150 who applied for the scholarship.
Difficulties and failures that Olivia has turned into global success
Olivia added, in a televised interview, that the scholarship included a master’s degree and a job as a research assistant in nanotechnology applications. Since then, her interest and passion in the field of environment and sustainable development, which was unknown at the time, began, which prompted her to have all her research and studies related to the field. the environment.

And Olivia added, in an interview via the “Zoom” application, with media professionals, Aya Jamal Al-Din and Asmaa Youssef, on the “8 in the Morning” program on the DMC channel, that the grant included a master’s scholarship and a job as a research assistant in nanotechnology applications, and since then her interest and passion in the field of environment and sustainable development began. It was not known at the time, which prompted her to have all her research and studies related to the field of environment.
A new technology for recycling plastic and textiles
And she added that she obtained a master’s degree in 2013, then was appointed at Heliopolis University as a teaching assistant at the Faculty of Pharmacy, but she faced difficulty when trying to make an equivalence for a master’s degree because it was classified as a thesis belonging to the Faculty of Science and not the Faculty of Pharmacy, which prompted her to prepare another master’s thesis in the field of analytical chemistry, although the matter was not It was not easy, but the supervisors of the thesis provided her with the necessary support to introduce the field of nanotechnology, which she studied in her thesis.
She indicated that she had devised a new technology to recycle plastic and fabrics containing polyester, by chemically breaking the bonds in polyester to convert it from a material consisting of units to the original material to be recycled again, without decreasing its quality even if it is recycled more than once.
