About

Lampros Litos is a researcher whose work lies at the critical intersection of waste management, process engineering, and sustainability. His primary research focus is on optimizing the performance of Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs)—the industrial plants that sort and process recyclable waste. Litos’s major contribution is the development of a modular model and simulation framework that allows for the systematic optimization of sorting processes within these facilities. This work is particularly timely, as global supply chains for critical materials face increasing disruption, making efficient recycling and reuse an essential pillar of sustainable development. By enabling MRFs to deliver higher-purity material fractions more efficiently, his research directly addresses the challenge of transforming waste into a reliable feedstock for industry. His most cited paper, "Modular Model and Simulation for Process Optimisation in Advanced Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs)" (2024), lays the groundwork for this approach. Though early in its citation impact, this work represents a significant step toward data-driven, circular economy solutions, offering engineers and policymakers a powerful tool to enhance recycling infrastructure and reduce reliance on virgin material extraction.
