Title of the doctoral project: Environmental Assessment of Bioplastics in a Circular Economy

Short description of the doctoral project: Due to limited fossil resources and climate change bioplastics have been in the focus of research in the last decade. As plastics are currently driven by a linear economy it is essential to develop bioplastics for a circular economy. Therefore it is essential to define optimal circular pathways for bioplastics also from an environmental perspective.
