Circular economy
The circular economy is a strategy that aims to reduce both the entry of materials and the production of virgin waste, closing the cycles or economic and ecological flows of resources. The underlying idea is that the current linear flow of materials (resources-product-waste) needs to be transformed into a circular flow (resource-product-recycled resources).
These are the services that our research groups can develop. For customized information on the services, please contact us.
