Biorecycling Research Team

The biorecycling research team is involved in technologies for the circular economy, developing materials and processes inspired by nature. Its activities are characterized by an interdisciplinary approach to sustainable development that minimizes the negative impact of waste on the environment and increases the efficiency of raw material recovery. The key areas of the research team's activities are as follows: 1. Development and optimization of biorecycling processes that use living organisms (e.g. bacteria, fungi, plants) to transform waste into valuable raw materials. 2. Work on closing material cycles, which means minimizing waste by maximizing the use of raw materials in production processes. The team investigates how materials can be reused from waste to reduce the need to extract new raw materials and reduce the impact on the environment. 3. Research and development of bioremediation methods that use living organisms to clean polluted environments, such as soil, water, and air. 4. Integration of knowledge from various fields, such as biotechnology, chemistry, mineral engineering, materials engineering, and environmental sciences, to create comprehensive solutions.
