This sub-category is for examples, pilots, and discussions of circular economy approaches in research. Topics may include:
-
Institution-wide circular economy strategies
-
Pilots and innovation projects (e.g. closed-loop plastics, lab equipment reuse schemes)
-
Case studies of resource sharing and repair systems
-
Partnerships with suppliers, funders, or local government
-
Measuring impact and scaling successful models
This space overlaps with Reduce, Re-use & Repair, but focuses on system-level projects and innovation, rather than day-to-day consumable use.
