Freiburger Forschende ergründen, warum das deutsche Verpackungsgesetz hinter Hoffnungen zurückbleibt
Die Forscherinnen Machteld Simoens und Juniorprofessorin Dr. Sina Leipold von der Professur für Gesellschaftliche Transformation und Kreislaufwirtschaft der Universität Freiburg analysieren die politischen Diskussionen auf dem Weg zu einer Kreislaufwirtschaft in der deutschen Verpackungsbranche.
