Ellen Palm

Ellen Palm takes an interest in plastics governance and how ideas of circularity shape future developments. Currently, she works at Roskilde University in the Velux-funded MarinePlastic II project and studies the Global Plastics Treaty negotiations. She has published work on strategies for plastics decarbonisation, narratives and limits of circular (carbon/ plastics) economy, expectations on carbon capture and utilisation and corporate climate targets. Her background is in environmental engineering, and she holds a PhD in Society and Technology from Lund University, Sweden. In her PhD thesis, she adopted an interdisciplinary approach by mapping and exploring the framings and technologies that surround plastics decarbonisation and the proposed mitigation pathway of carbon capture and utilisation.
