Wood2Wood project will participate in a workshop “Re-valuing resources: Cross-sectoral circular solution for a sustainable future” at the Sustainable Places 2025 scheduled to be held in Milan, Italy between 8-10 October.
The workshop led by ReBoat Project will also feature other Horizon Europe initiatives, such as THESEUS, DeremCo, YouRban, SUM4Re, ICONIC Project, and STORCITO Project and showcase innovative circular solution across islands, cities and industrial systems.
Each of these projects offer a different perspective:
- ReBoat: modular, mobile waste treatment on a boat for islands, turning waste into products while co- creating sustainable “working holiday” models.
- THESEUS: Hubs for Circularity (H4Cs) in cities and regions, integrating urban planning, citizen engagement, nature based solutions, and industrial symbiosis.
- DeremCo: demand-driven supply chain for composite reuse, with two reprocessing pathways, 14 SME-led pilots, and a digital platform linking waste owners, recyclers, and manufacturers.
- Wood2Wood: transforms contaminated wood into products using digital tools, upcycling technologies, and life cycle assessments to support circular practices.
- YouRban: mobile innovation plant in Milan and Barcelona, co-designing recycling and upcycling activities with citizens, especially youth and creatives.
- SUM4Re: develops systemic solutions for circular and climate-resilient regions, linking material reuse, renewable energy, and sustainable value chains.
- ICONIC: pilots integrated solutions for islands and rural communities, combining energy independence, circular practices, water and waste management, and sustainable mobility with strong multi-actor engagement.
- STORCITO: creates nature-based and digital tools to support wildfire prevention, sustainable forest management, climate-neutral mobility, and community-based energy systems in rural Europe.
What to expect at SP25 workshop on cross-sectoral solutions:
- Brief presentations from all the 8 projects, including W2W
- Panel discussions and interactive Q&A
- Insights on enablers, policies, and replicability across Europe
Sustainable Places (SP) is more than just a conference—it’s Europe’s go-to platform for showcasing Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe innovations in sustainable building, renovation, and smart urban design.
The themes reflect the real-world challenges of our cities and urban areas—encapsulating everything from energy communities, circular construction, and renewable tech, to digital twins, AI in sustainability, and resilient urban transitions.
