The EU Green Week is around the corner, and 6 European Union-funded projects are teaming up as a European cluster to demonstrate how AI-driven innovations have the potential to enhance sustainability, reduce waste and drive strategic autonomy in European industrial sectors.
Wood2Wood project is pleased to announce its participation for the EU Green Week 2025 in Brussels on June 4, as part of a European Cluster event titled “Circular Economy in Action: Rethinking Resources for a Greener Future”. Register here to participate online.
The EU Green Week is an annual European environmental conference organised by the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Environment in Brussels. The purpose of the EU Green Week is multi-fold: to raise awareness, promote and discuss the latest developments in European environmental policies. Typically, the EU Green Week attracts policymakers, businesses, civil society, environmentalists, and other interested stakeholders from Europe and around the world.
This year’s EU Green Week theme “Clean, Circular and Competitive” follows EU’s “Competitive Compass” and the Clean Industrial Deal announced in spring this year that will provide a strategic direction to the EU to achieve sustainable competitiveness in the industrial sector.
To provide fresh impetus towards this goal, 6 EU-funded projects have formed the REACT Cluster, which stands for “Resource Efficiency and Automation for Circular Transformation”. The REACT Cluster consists of ALCHIMIA Project, CLARUS Project, DARROW Project, RECLAIM Project, GRINNER Project, and Wood2Wood Project.

Featuring breakthrough insights from 6 Horizon Europe projects — RECLAIM project, ALCHIMIA Project, GRINNER project, DARROW Project, CLARUS Project, and Wood2Wood project— this event will spotlight real-world applications of big data, imaging, and AI in driving sustainability and resource efficiency.
From AI-powered sorting in municipal waste management, smarter wastewater treatment and robotic WEEE sorting to wood waste upcycling strategies, sustainability performance assessment in the food sector, and AI-enhanced scrap steel analysis for circular insights, participants will get first-hand insights into how these innovations are unlocking new value in circular economy strategies.
With their forces combined, these European-funded projects will spotlight circular economy solutions driven by AI, big data, and robotics and made in Europe.
Here are the agenda highlights:
