Moving Towards Healthier Cities: The Launch of The CLEAR Project

From turning household organic waste into clean energy to using digital tools to improve transparency and creating useful products from difficult-to-recycle waste, three innovators showcased their solutions during the launch of Clean Land, Equitable Air and Resilience (CLEAR), highlighting practical approaches to building a more efficient and circular waste management system. 

CLEAR, is a four-year transdisciplinary action research programme supported by the Wellcome Trust and led by the M. S.
