William Graedel's research publications

William Graedel's research focuses on understanding how elements cycle through the Earth's systems, including how they are extracted from the environment, used in industry, and eventually recycled or disposed of. His work helps trace the movement and transformation of materials like metals and nutrients, informing sustainable resource management. By analyzing these material flows, Graedel aims to improve resource efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and develop strategies for recycling and reuse, contributing to a more sustainable relationship between human activity and natural resources.
