The "Laboratory for Applied Circular Economy" (LACE) aims at consolidating practical knowledge for the transition towards a circular economy. The project will demonstrate that the principles of circular economy are applicable to an industrial production system in an ecologically and economically sustainable way. Applied research will be conducted in a variety of enterprises representative of the Swiss economic fabric. Scientists from various, complementary research fields will collaborate in this project: the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology (Empa) will conduct research with an environmental and material sciences perspective; the Faculty of Economics and Management of the University of Lucerne will address business administration aspects and the Faculty of Law and Public Administration of the University of Lausanne will explore legal questions.Three PhD students, each one focusing on one research field (environmental sciences, business administration and law) will generate the main the scientific outputs. The overall goal of the three PhD theses is to create scientific knowledge in their own field and, based on this, the project will produce a feasibility study for different industry sectors. The transfer of scientific results into practical information for companies will be supported by the sustainability think-tank sanu durabilitas. The project will establish direct and tight collaboration between the researchers and partner companies of five different industrial sectors: medical technology, construction, computer industry, household appliances and food. The LACE already gained the interest of eight renowned Swiss companies: Bien-Air dental AG; Losinger-Marazzi AG; Logitech; V-ZUG AG; Tisca Tiara; SV Group; Nespresso and Dr.Gab’s (please refer to their letters of intent). With those partners, the LACE will enable a bottom-up implementation of circular economy principles on a company or a product level.
