A new national research hub to accelerate the adoption of circular economy technologies is to be based at the University of Exeter.
The National Interdisciplinary Circular Economy Hub, supported with a £3.5 million investment from UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), will work with the five circular economy centres that were announced in November 2020 to explore how reusing waste materials in a wide range of industries, including textiles, construction, chemical and metals, could boost the UK economy and deliver huge environmental benefits.
