How to Close the Loop: Two Swiss Innovations Paving the Way for a Circular Economy

Guests: Tiffany Abitbol, Assistant Professor at EPFL and Head of the Sustainable Materials Laboratory; Andrea Vezzini, Expert in Industrial Electronics at Bern University of Applied Sciences.

In this episode, we explore two Swiss initiatives paving the way for the circular economy.

Dr. Tiffany Abitbol shares her work on sustainable materials, including mycelium-based packaging, which leverages nature’s designs for environmental benefits.

We also hear from Professor Andrea Vezzini about the CircuBAT initiative, a project dedicated to creating a closed-loop system for lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles.
