      I spend most days in a chemistry lab trying to make new, green plastics. I also have meetings with colleagues where we try to come up with new ideas

      I work in a very small factory where we practice making stuff that the lab have done, so I spend a lot of time reading what they send us, setting up the factory and weighing out chemicals, then making a batch of plastic, seeing if everything works and perhaps run some tests on it.
      I also have to do a lot of admin work, training new people, doing health & safety checks, reading emails from my boss and so on.
