Center for Material Cycles and Waste Management Research
Outline of Research
Contributing solutions for sustainable usage of resources and the reduction of the environmental waste which accompanies that use
We carry out surveys and research to clarify the realities surrounding - and to make long-term forecasts regarding - the materials used by societies. At the same time we study the environmental burden which accompanies that usage. In addition, we assess materials both as potential resources and for their toxic properties.
Along with conducting research into resource cycles and the appropriate disposal of waste and sewage, we develop techniques, and implement research, relating to practical regional applications which will help make environmental recovery and renewal a reality.
