Studies conducted
We listen to you to understand your needs and help you recycle more and better
Social research is at the centre of our studies. We use various sociological techniques and methodologies and take into account other areas of knowledge such as neuroscience, market research, and big data.
Recycler Journey study
We care about how you feel at every step of the recycling process
Your feelings change throughout the recycling process, from purchasing a product to the subsequent waste separation and its disposal in containers.
In our Citizen Area, we have analysed how you feel at every stage. Discover what motivates you and what concerns you when it comes to separating waste. The conclusions will help you recycle more and better.
Emotional Recycling Index study
5 different personalities
At TheCircularLab, we want all citizens to find their own motivations for recycling. The Emotional Recycling Index project provided us with the keys to divide the population into five large groups that relate to sustainability and recycling in different ways.
Through this study, we were able to understand the emotional characteristics of each group and develop new, more personalised communication models that encourage all citizens to integrate the recycling process into their daily routines.
Citizen feedback mailbox
Share your thoughts with us. We look forward to your suggestions, ideas, and comments to promote the circular economy in society.
European Project
IRIS 4.0: Intelligent Recycling System
The main objective of the IRIS 4.0 project is to optimise packaging collection and recycling processes and to study and promote citizen collaboration. To achieve this, the project aims to generate a layer of analytical intelligence that will allow us to optimise the current Waste technology system.
