Environmental Technology and Management (MILJÖ)

Division of Environmental Technology is a research and education environment. Our focus is on how environmental problems lead to changes in products, services , technical systems and organisations and how it affects the environment.

The Division for Environmental Technology and Management is an interdisciplinary research group with thirty years experience of turning environmental problems into opportunities. Our main focus is the transformation of organisations, technical systems and products and services towards a resource efficient society. Today the division is a research and education environment with international reputation and with 25 employees and 900 students.

The division Environmental Technology and Management is divided into four units:

Unit for Sustainable Development and Strategies
Unit for Industrial and Urban Symbiosis
Unit for Products Services Innovation
Unit for Sustainable Materials Management

Research

Research groups

Environmental management and transformation

This research group is specialised on understanding how organisations and cities can move towards a more sustainable state. We study how such processes can be influenced, which actors are involved and how they interact.

Industrial and Urban Symbiosis

Research is conducted into how local and regional collaboration that involves private and public organisations, and actors from different sectors, can bring opportunities for more efficient flows of material and energy, and other synergy effects.

Products Services and Innovation

The unit is a research group that are leading experts in applied and transdisciplinary research on sustainable value creation based on a system perspective that enables effective and efficient use and preservation of resources.

Sustainable Materials Management

Future resources will be found in the built environment. A lot of our natural resources has been moved from the earth crust into society. We aim to develop knowledge and methods for a more efficient and sustainable use of such hidden resources.

Research projects

Digital sharing platform in Swedish municipalities

The ongoing digitalization changes how people live their lives, in their homes and in society. Changes do not only regard how we adopt new technologies, like digital sharing platforms.

Resource productivity and sustainable business growth

Globally, natural and economic systems face growing challenges, all linked to ever increasing primary, and mostly fossil, resource use and pollutant emissions.

Making remanufacturing profitable

Returning end-of-life products to as-new condition is called remanufacturing. For more industrial companies to take an interest in it, remanufacturing needs to be economically viable. Johan Vogt Duberg has investigated how this can be accomplished.

Professor Mattias Lindahl is contributing to a global ISO standard

There are hundreds of definitions of circular economy in the world, which leads to confusion. A new ISO standard with a definition widely accepted and disseminated will remedy the situation.
