The concept of the circular economy has gained prominence as a vital approach to address growing concerns about resource depletion and environmental sustainability in manufacturing. At the Sustainability Center, our research focuses on embedding circular economy strategies into advanced manufacturing processes, enabling closed-loop systems and sustainable resource management, which are crucial for entering the Industry 5.0 era. By integrating these principles, we aim to drive innovation in manufacturing, reducing waste and energy consumption while fostering long-term environmental and economic resilience.
