CircEL, the UCL Circular Economy Laboratory, is a cross-disciplinary research hub. We aim to develop the scientific and socio-economic understanding and technological basis for design and implementation of products, processes, systems and policy that will support the transition to a Circular Economy. CirCEL was initiated by Professor Julia Stegemann, Dr Teresa Domenech, Dr Ben Croxford, and Professor Mark Miodownik, in collaboration with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation. Staff from around UCL are invited to join CirCEL, to enable application of the full breadth and depth of UCL's expertise to expressed industrial needs.
