If we want to win the battle against environmental degradation, materials need to be recycled and utilised in various ways.
We need more sustainable and scalable solutions for materials.
Multipurpose materials play a key role in the research on bio-based materials and material flows at LAB and in the development of solutions based on that research. Our experts are making the working world more sustainable by offering research-based knowledge and education on the circular economy in collaboration with companies.
Our expertise in understanding the systemic nature of the circular economy and applying it to practice helps companies create sustainable business opportunities and innovations and support the circular economy.
