 Implementing Circularity with    Plants and Computers

Circular Flow Design is the emerging scientific subject developed on this page. It emerges from the need of modern society to tackle three problems of global scale: climate change, pollution, and the dependence on finite reserves of materials.

Circular Flow Design results from the intersection of the following 6 research topics:
