About
Henrik Wenzel is a leading figure in sustainable engineering and life-cycle assessment, with a particular focus on resource recovery and circular economy strategies for emerging technologies. His work bridges the gap between product design and end-of-life management, exemplified by his highly cited 2016 case study on robotic vacuum cleaners. This research, which has garnered 45 citations, provides a critical framework for understanding how to recover valuable materials from complex electronic products that are rapidly entering the waste stream. Wenzel’s contributions extend beyond this single study; he is recognized for developing methodologies that quantify the environmental and economic trade-offs of different recycling and recovery pathways. His impact is evident in how his findings inform both industrial practices and policy decisions aimed at reducing electronic waste. By focusing on the intersection of innovation and sustainability, Wenzel has helped shape a more responsible approach to product life cycles, making his work essential reading for students and researchers interested in green engineering, waste management, and the future of circular economies.
