On June 6, 2025, we officially opened the CampusLAB Circular Economy as part of the 1st Annual UNU HUBs Meeting. Among other research groups, we at OSCM are focusing on the topics:
- Closed-loop supply chains and reverse logistics concepts
- Life cycle assessment and circular production processes and products
For demonstration purposes, we have set up the supply chain of coffee, including preparation, to make the different impacts of packaging and preparation methods tangible. This allows us to gain practical insights into how everyday decisions have a direct impact on the environment.
In addition to our research, the CampusLAB includes other innovative start-ups that develop molecular processes and products in cooperation with the TUHH - from biomass-based materials to high-performance products and their recycling.
The lab is part of the United Nations University Hub and is open to students, political decision-makers, companies and school classes as a center for science communication and work readiness. It offers an interactive platform for experiencing and shaping sustainable solutions at first hand.
