Raw Materials Engineering and Circular Economy

Description

I temi di ricerca riguardano:

• il trattamento, la valorizzazione e il riciclo delle materie prime e dei rifiuti solidi, secondo i principi della Circular Economy e dell’Urban Mining
• la sostenibilità ambientale e lo studio degli Obiettivi di Sostenibilità dell'Agenda UN 2030
• lo sviluppo di tecnologie per l’adattamento climatico e la resilienza in ambito urbano
• l’applicazione dell’Eco-design ai prodotti e ai processi, l’analisi del ciclo di vita (Life Cycle Assessment e Life Cycle Cost Analysis), la valutazione dell’impronta ecologica e delle impronte idrica e di carbonio (environmental, carbon e water footprint)
• l’approvvigionamento idrico, il riciclo e la valorizzazione della risorsa acqua.

Un preciso filone di ricerca riguarda l’applicazione delle suddette tematiche all’ambito della cooperazione coi i Paesi in Via di Sviluppo e con i Paesi Emergenti.
