R. Kakatkar

Rucha Kakatkar is a Ph.D. Researcher in the Circular Plastics Group at the Circular Chemical Engineering Department (CCE) of Maastricht University (UM) since September 2022. Her primary research contribution would be to a Horizon project aimed at increasing recycled content in added value products which are defined by five business cases. She would develop a Multi-criteria Evaluation framework which will aid in making structured decisions on feasibility of circular strategies for circular products. The framework would cover a broad spectrum of evaluation categories from a circular product development standpoint. The multi-criteria framework would also be verified while contributing to solving the bottlenecks of the business cases of the Horizon project.
