Laura Äkräs

Doctoral Researcher
Department of Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering

My research area includes the analysis of features and environmental impacts of bio-based plastics and biocomposites, together with a small amount of regulatory aspects, to foster the development of more sustainable future. This is done by utilizing different methodologies, such as Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) analysis and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). Please, have a closer look at my profile, if interested! :)
