Conserve is deeply committed to investigating the causes of social injustice through systems research. We research knowledge transformation and technology, transfer mechanisms and structures, intellectual capital development, innovation management, and look to forecast future research in these areas.
From exploring Interface Flor’s fishing nets waste recovery options to assessing the impacts of circular economies in the fashion chain with the University of Utrecht, Netherlands and the Laudes Foundation, we’re committed to conducting and coordinating a wide range of research programs.
Since 2004, Conserve has been developing new materials from natural fibres and upcycling waste materials like non-recyclable single-use plastic bags to create new materials such as tyre tubes, seatbelts, and firehouses, and retail products including handbags and shoes.
