Circular economy as the key to the future
Initiated by Dr. Fabian Takacs, Anna Burch and Prof. Dr. Karolin Frankenberger (IfB-HSG) as well as Prof. Dr. Simon Mayer and Prof. Dr. Andrei Ciortea (ICS-HSG), the interdisciplinary lab develops innovative, practical solutions for the transformation of our economy towards a sustainable circular system.
Projects such as the “Circular Tarp”, have been launched together with the Zurich cult label FREITAG, which aims to breathe a real second life into bags made from used lorry tarpaulins with a new, fully recyclable mono-material tarpaulin. This makes a closed material cycle possible for the first time. The Circular Lab is providing technical, financial and conceptual support for this project - a prime example of CE innovations that work on an industrial scale.
