Introduction to the research work of the Department for Recycling and Logistics

The fundamental activity of the department is the research into the closed loop economy. In this theory manufacturing is considered only as a part of the life-cycle of the product followed by delivery, distribution, repair and maintenance during the use phase. Collection, disassembly and recycling of the used products are also considered and evaluated in this methodology.

The main research orientations of the department are the followings:

• product disassembly systems;
• logistic processes in recycling;
• management of implementation of regional waste management projects;
• management of information, IT background and database development;
• feasibility and expert studies on waste management.
