This interdisciplinary PhD project will generate the knowledge missing with regard to business/industry plastics flows disposed today, prevention/recycling potentials, including the organizational factors determining business practice around plastics circular economy. In the process, new data collection and processing methods are developed to address system complexity. The project is expected to contribute to tangible actions locally, leading to large GHG emissions reductions, support Denmark’s climate goals, and contribute high level published research in the area of circular economy.
