The Circular Innovation Hub Living Lab is an interactive research space that brings circular economy concepts to life, with a strong emphasis on student research opportunities. As part of the Circular Innovation Hub at York University’s Faculty of Environment and Urban Change, the Living Lab offers a collaborative environment where students, researchers, industry partners, and community members can work together to develop and test innovative circular economy solutions.
Designed to engage students in hands-on research, the Living Lab provides opportunities to tackle real-world challenges in waste reduction, resource recovery, and sustainable design directly on campus. Through interdisciplinary projects and campus-based initiatives, students gain practical experience while contributing to the creation of scalable solutions for a more sustainable future. The Living Lab is not just a research space—it’s a platform for empowering the next generation of circular economy innovators.
