Through the process of THE WEEK which focuses on climate change mitigation and circular economy, I have gained a deeper comprehension of the severity of the situation and the potential impact that sustainable practices could have. It provided further support for the notion that the implementation of circular economy concepts, which include the reduction of waste, the extension of product life cycles, and the rethinking of our life choices, is not only necessary for the preservation of environmental health but also for the development of resilient economies.
From the experience I gained on THE WEEK, I have been motivated to include circular economy ideas into my future work in a more active manner, particularly in domains where traditional linear models continue to be the dominant model. I am more dedicated than ever before to finding solutions that put an emphasis on the recovery of materials, the utilization of renewable resources, and the implementation of systems that produce zero waste. Whether I work in the field of materials science, supply chain management, or manufacturing, my objective is to create and advocate for systems that contribute to the mitigation of climate change by lowering dependency on limited resources and minimizing carbon footprints. In the end, this perspective have directed the path that I choose in my professional life, compelling me to pursue inventions that are not just efficient but also sustainable and helpful to both people and the world.
About NNABUIKE LINUS ONUH
Howdy!! My name is Linus, I am an Advanced Materials and Innovative Recycling master’s student at both the University of Miskolc and Polytechnic University of Madrid. I have a background in Materials Science and Engineering specializing in soft matter, polymer and composite materials synthesis, production, characterization, sustainable recycling, and upcycling for circular economy. I am adept at carrying out research works on optimizing various manufacturing processes to enhance polymer properties, improve sustainability and reduce environmental impact. I am excited to contribute to a world where sustainable choices are not only possible but practical and scalable.
