INGRES

The Waste Engineering and Sustainability (INGRES) research group offers advanced technological services to improve the sustainability of products, organizations and the urban environment and the waste management, in order to move towards a circular economy. The research activity of the group focuses on two areas: • Waste engineering: Modeling of urban waste management, Application of geographic information systems, Biological waste treatment technologies, Waste valorization and minimization. • Assessment and management of life cycle sustainability: Ecodesign, Life Cycle Analysis (LCA), Life Cycle Sustainability Analysis (LCSA), Sustainability and circularity indicators, Environmental/sustainability labeling and communication, Green/Sustainable/Circular Public Procurement. With a complete and modern laboratory instrumentation and an experienced human team, the INGRES group carries out applied research work and projects, offering results in the short and medium term with which to improve the environmental conditions of products, organizations and the urban environment, and making special emphasis on waste management.
