The Circularity Informatics Lab is the Science and Research lead for the next phase of eXXpedition missions, in collaboration with local scientific partners and community groups in each region. The hope is that the data collected through eXXpedition can be used to inform a range of interventions at the local level to optimize circularity and reduce plastic leakage into the environment.
