Our scientists are working to make Europe’s industry more sustainable!

Meet *Fabrice Mathieux*, one of our experts in resource efficiency and recycling of materials. With a background in mechanical engineering, waste management and life cycle assessment, Fabrice now focuses on assessing the environmental impact of products and securing a sustainable supply of critical raw materials for the EU industry. He and his team work to ensure that the products we use in the EU are more sustainable, circular, resilient and better designed for the future.
