Dr Carly Fletcher
Research Associate
My profile
Research outputs
As an applied social scientist, my research interests include waste management policy, sustainable business models, and transition to the circular economy. In a broader context, my interests include areas where cutting-edge theoretical research (science and innovation) informs practical application and policy change (behaviours and attitudes). In my current post, I am researching standards, definitions and taxonomies concerning the safe and sustainable use and disposal of bio-based and biodegradable plastics (BIOPLASTICS EUROPE project: https://bioplasticseurope.eu/)
