Only 16 per cent of the more than 250 million tons of plastic we use every year globally is recycled. If, however, we could recycle more plastic and at the same time get...
The project is looking into new technological ways of reproducing new high quality plastics from non-recyclable plastic waste.
Nordic network makes recommendations on how to limit ghost fishing and pollution of the sea due to lost fishing gear.
PET can be degraded by microwaves and chemistry, so the components of the plastic can be recycled into new PET products.
Food waste is a recurring theme at Roskilde Festival. Two teams of DTU students are working to determine the actual extent of the problem.
A team of BEng students from DTU have developed a new process which makes it easy and cheap to use recycled cups, and which can significantly reduce the use of disposable...
For the tenth time, a group of DTU students used Roskilde Festival as an outdoor laboratory for testing new technologies that can make the festival more sustainable and...
Mining waste can replace up to ten per cent of the cement used in concrete without compromising the strength of the materials.
Efforts on multiple fronts are required if we are to increase the quality in the future so more of our plastic waste can be reused, which can contribute to a circular plastic...
A new analysis from DTU shows that the deposit and return system is the most eco-friendly way of disposing of packaging from beverages not covered by the current deposit...
DTU is a partner in a new EU project aimed at recycling of mining waste in building materials.
In the next 40 years, we will be building just as much as we have built so far in human history. This requires a radically different mindset. Circular economy is the key...
Researchers at DTU Civil Engineering wish to conduct research on the possibility of replacing parts of cement in concrete production with wood ash. The method will produce...
There is an extensive and so far unexploited potential for recycling waste as part of new construction materials. DTU Civil Engineering will help explore this potential...
There are big savings in reusing building components in their original form rather than crushing them and recycling the components as road fill, for example. The savings...
There is growing interest in technological solutions that can handle waste and waste water in the remote towns and villages in the Arctic.
How do waste products obtain value as part of new building materials? That is the fundamental question Lisbeth M. Ottosen will try to answer in the professorship, she has...
Arctic Technology Centre (ARTEK) at DTU Civil Engineering has employed three new PhD students. All three projects will concentrate on subjects that will benefit the Greenlandic...
Siberian universities learning to use European waste models.
In the mid-1800s, Copenhagen suffered from a serious cholera epidemic. This prompted the College of Advanced Technology (now DTU) in 1865 to give lectures on water supply...
