Progress meeting with users of the Circular Circuits project took place on 27th September 2024 Rapidly developing project has its online Progress meeting on 27th September this year. Around 40 participants took part in evaluations of new results. Insightful presentations were given by researchers from Universities of Leiden, TU Delft, Radboud, Eindhoven, Erasmus University Rotterdam,
The Financieel Dagblad wrote a nice piece on the value of inter- and transdisciplinary research (i.e. between disciplines and with actors working in the practice that is subject of research). Circular Circuits was shown as a prominent example of this approach. The article is behind a paywall, and can be read here. A download of the

“I always hand in my broken electronic devices, but is anything actually done with them?” In a time of scarce materials, you would hope so, but recycling these types of products is quite complicated. It is only possible for about 20% of the products worldwide. In the Netherlands, we are doing a lot better, but
