Merel joined the Circular Plastics Group as a PhD researcher in October 2022. Her PhD will focus on systems thinking in plastic recycling. The aim of her research is to acquire a better understanding of the compatibility of a technological innovation, the Recycling Quality (RQ) model, in the plastic value chain. By taking an interdisciplinary approach and combining the technical side with the socio-economic side, she hopes to acquire a better understanding of this topic and thereby contribute to improving the circularity of the plastic value chain.
