Joacim Rosenlund

Joacim Rosenlund is an Associate Professor in Environmental Science with a specialisation in circular economy at Linnaeus University's Faculty of Health and Life Sciences, Department of Biology and Environmental Science. He teaches sustainable innovation and sustainable development courses in environmental science, as well as entrepreneurship, sustainability and circular economy at the School of Business and Economics.

Rosenlund's research focuses on circular economy applications, particularly in waste management, energy transitions, and sustainable resource use. His work emphasizes practical, community-engaged approaches to environmental challenges, with specific expertise in gamified recycling systems, circular energy solutions in agriculture, and offshore wind farm applications. He frequently collaborates with industry and community partners to develop implementable circular economy solutions.

His recent publications reveal a strong trend toward practical applications of circular economy principles, with particular emphasis on behavioral aspects of waste management, gamification techniques to improve recycling rates, and innovative approaches to resource recovery. His research spans from theoretical frameworks of circular business models to hands-on community projects implementing circular solutions.

Rosenlund has extensive experience as a lecturer on circular economy topics and has published a Swedish-language book titled 'Ett cirkulärt samhälle: Från sopmänniska till cirkulent' (A Circular Society: From Garbage Man to Circular). His doctoral research focused on cross-sector knowledge production in environmental science, reflecting his ongoing interest in collaborative approaches to sustainability challenges.

His work bridges academic research with practical implementation through projects like the gamified waste sorting house, multi-use offshore platforms, and biochar applications in agriculture. He appears to be actively engaged in both teaching and research, with recent publications extending into 2025.
