Circular Economy in Waste
Project overview
This project focuses on building a circular ecosystem at MIND that transforms waste and energy into long-term value within a real-life living lab.
By testing economically efficient and environmentally sound solutions, the initiative explores how resources can be recovered, reused, and optimized at district scale. The project also investigates social procurement models that integrate environmental impact with social value.
Through real-world experimentation and measurable outcomes, the project aims to develop scalable circular solutions that can be adopted beyond MIND.
Strategic project goals
The role of MIND
MIND is uniquely positioned to host and test this initiative.
As a mixed-use innovation district integrating research, healthcare, education, companies, and public institutions, MIND offers:
- A real population and daily-use environment
- Multiple data sources across services, infrastructure, and users
- A governance context where new public-private models can be explored
