Miguel Las Heras Hernandez is a researcher at NILU, based in the lovely city of Trondheim.
His main area of expertise is in Circular Economy, with a current focus on improving the handling of Electronic Waste to enhance reuse of resources and minimize losses at the end of life. He is part of the coordinating team for the CE-RISE project and actively involved in its research activities. He has experience working on Material Flow Analysis (MFA) of plastics and explored the bioeconomy, particularly the reuse of manure 💩 in Norwegian agriculture to reduce dependency on mineral phosphorus imports. He has also looked into ways to prevent the loss of wood resources in the industry.
Miguel’s work is driven by a passion for limiting the impacts of human activities in the environment, while guaranteeing a fair, equal and inclusive society. He integrates his background in Industrial Ecology (MsC. Industrial Ecology, NTNU, 2021) with product design (Engineering Degree, Universidad de Valladolid, 2017) develop innovative solutions that are not only effective but also enjoyable to implement and use.
Miguel Las Heras Hernández has 10 publications at NILU:

Circular Economy Resource Information System (CE-RISE)
What is the CE-RISE project? What is the CE-RISE project? The rising demand and limited supply of critical raw materials (CRMs) impair the ability to rapidly adopt technological change toward […]
Plastic cycle – Optimizing resource efficiency while minimizing recycling of hazardous chemicals in a circular economy (PLASTCYCLE)
PLASTCYCLE will provide a comprehensive overview of fate of different plastic types and additive chemicals in the waste stream. We will also provide solutions for optimizing plastic waste management by coupling scientific findings with information and knowledge of industrial partners, municipalities and waste management companies across Norway.
Development of Environmental performance and Climate Impact indicators for the Assessment of Sustainability (DECIAS)
The DECIAS project is aimed at developing a modelling toolbox for environmental sustainability assessment based upon Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), dynamic Material Flow Analysis (MFA), and multiregional Input Output Analysis […]
