Design and Management of Sustainable Plastic Value Chains to Support a Circular Economy Transition

CIRCULAR ECONOMY

ABOUT THE PROJECT

This project aims to develop the syntheses of different plastic materials in the most sustainable way. The basic idea is to complement the earth's natural cycles and integrate them into industrial supply networks to minimize waste and aim for zero-waste in future developments. Options and solutions for degradation, reuse, recycling, and valuable upcycling of products will be explored, including various options for faster degradation of plastic materials.
