Full transition from a linear to a sustainable circular society – with less waste and more value retention of raw materials and natural resources – is the main goal of the institute 4 a Circular Society.

What is needed to reuse medical devices and medicines? How do we prevent drug residues from entering sewage? These questions are addressed in the Circular Safe Hospital hub.

How do we arrive at circular solutions that benefit both urban and rural areas? This is the main driver of the research programme Urban-Rural Circularity.
