In order to achieve a circular economy, EU has discussed different instruments, including lifetime labeling. Circular economy has a partial focus on reducing waste, which products with longer life reduce. This study aims to investigate the issues that are important when considering labeling systems, as if it should be mandatory or optional, if the labeling will be effective and what products it wi
Research suggests that schools and its staff both are able to work towards detection and prevention of female genital mutilation.
