My research focuses on flows of materials and pollution in the large technical systems for urban water and solid waste. I am particularly interested in plastics and microplastics and how these flows can be managed to reduce the environmental impact.

Research

A huge amount of household waste.

Biogas potential from mechanically sorted organic waste

LiU-researchers in collaboration with Tekniska verken will examine mechanical sorting of residual household waste. Food waste in residual waste could be converted into biogas and be used more efficiently.
Conveyor belt with recycling

The new role of recycling actors in a circular economy

The project explores how recycling actors can develop their roles and strategies to gradually and robustly contribute to a more resource-efficient society in the transition to a circular economy.

LiU researchers study how a ‘hidden resource’ in household waste can generate more biogas

With a new, top modern facility, Tekniska verken in Linköping can extract more organic material from household waste. LiU researcher Niclas Svensson leads the study on producing biogas from mechanically sorted organic material.
