CIRCLETECH PROJECT: 'THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY IS THE KEY TO THE FUTURE'

The University of Miskolc is the only university in Hungary to have won a European Union competition on the circular economy. Two prestigious universities with high international rankings will work together in the CiRCLETECH project. What do the Finns think about joint thinking?

Prof. Antti Hakkinen of Lappenrata-Lahti University of Technology said that the EU project, which will run from 2022 to 2025, is based on networking and knowledge exchange.

"The circular economy is the key to everything we are trying to do.  We try to keep working in making everything sustainable, that includes sustainability in universities but also in many different areas of industry, whether it’s in minerals industry or whether it’s in food industry," said Prof. Hakkinen.

At Lappenrata-Lahti University of Technology, many improvements have been made to recycle and reuse everything possible.
