Meet Siyue Zhang - DC12

👟 How circular is a shoe, really? And how do we measure it?

👩‍🎓Meet Siyue Zhang, DC12 in the SCARPA project. Originally from China, Siyue completed a bachelor’s degree in environmental science there, followed by a master’s in environmental science for sustainability at King’s College in the UK. She is now based in Maastricht, where she works at Maastricht University in the Department of Circular Chemical Engineering, within the Circular Plastics team.

♻️Her research focuses on the assessment of circularity, with an emphasis on recycling. Her aim is to build a deep and comprehensive understanding of circularity assessment, so that she can support better actions for footwear recycling in the future.

🤝 Beyond her own research, Siyue is keen to connect with stakeholders working in the footwear industry. If that is you, say hello in the comments or send her a message!
