Research that makes a difference

Resource Recovery

Our planet faces major climate threats; many of them because we do not take care of the earth’s resources. The Swedish Centre for Resource Recovery (SCRR) is a multidisciplinary research environment that conducts world-leading research, education, and innovation. We improve and develop new methods and processes for material recycling and for refining waste and residual products into energy, materials, feed, and food.
