Graduation Project Opportunities
The Circular Design Lab aligns itself the closest to research related to the circular economy. Once you have started on any of the projects listed below, please inform the circular design lab team to be added as a member.
Distinctive design to communicate package sustainability
Post date: July 28, 2023
In this project you will investigate whether a distinctive package design heightens consumers’ recognition and perception of sustainability, and which type of distinctive package designs are more effective and why.
Sustainable Hospitals: Circular Endoscopy
Post date: June 26, 2023
In this project you will start with mapping the waste streams of the Endoscopy department at the EMC and determine environmental hotspots.
Sustainable Hospitals: Circular Product Design from Recycled Dialysis Bags
Post date: June 26, 2023
In this project you will design a high-end (medical) product based on recycled dialysis bags (including its packaging) which can meet the regulatory and safety demands and technical product requirements.
Sustainable Hospitals: Circular Cardiology
Post date: June 26, 2023
In this project you will start with mapping the waste streams of the Cardiology department at the EMC and determine environmental hotspots.
Sustainable Hospitals: Circular Use of the Disposable Bougie Dilator
Post date: June 26, 2023
