Description
Postdoctoral research project within the UKRI-funded Interdisciplinary Circular Economy Centre for Mineral-based Construction Materials (ICEC-MCM, NICER programme) at Loughborough University. Our team developed and validated an accounting–sustainability hybrid tool to embed Circular Economy principles into capital investment appraisals. The tool was tested through an industrial placement with Network Rail, supporting Circular Economy business cases and strengthening collaboration between sustainability and investment teams.
