Due to resource scarcity and climate change, the EU wants to move away from the current throwaway society towards a circular economy. To achieve this, more waste must be recycled in the future. The new Christian Doppler Laboratory for Recycling-Based Circular Economy at TU Wien is investigating how this can be achieved. The CD-Laboratory was established in January 2021 under the lead of Dr. Jakob Lederer at the Insitute for Process Engineering, Environmental Engineering and Technical Biosciences.
