Description
In the developed world, up to 50 per cent of pharmaceuticals end up in household garbage due to various reasons. Taking on a circular economy perspective, this project investigated the feasibility of a 'Too-good-to-go'-type of digital platform for unused medication for chronically ill patients by conducting expert interviews and simulations.
