The transition to a circular economy presents new opportunities but also carries risks: skills shortages are already straining businesses, and the impacts of the transition are unlikely to be felt equally.
The plenary in France will focus on presentation of recent pilot and technical developments across all Work Packages.
The workshop, an official EU Green Week Partner event of the European Commission, will delve into the application of AI, Digital Twins and Robotics for the manufacturing sector.
The discussions emphasised that materials are strategic, and European member states need to efficiently and effectively recover secondary materials to reuse and recycle to enhance EU’s material sovereignty and competitiveness.
Wood2Wood project will be attending the two-day annual European Circular Economy Stakeholder Platform (ECESP) conference in Brussels between April 22-23. This will be the second consecutive year of Wood2Wood’s participation. This year’s ECESP conference theme is “A competitive and fair circular Europe: The ambition at the heart of the single market”. The event will shape
This year’s workshop theme was “Driving the Circular Transition in the EU: Recovering Value from Secondary Raw Materials” and the objective was to drive progress towards a circular economy by keeping materials in circulation for as long as possible to reduce European dependence on virgin resources and build resilience to de-risk its supply chain in the face of global supply chain uncertainties.
From metallurgy to food, waste, water, and wood—each of these projects brought to the forefront the transformational power of AI and Robotics to solve real industrial challenges.
As an EU-funded project, participation in the dialogue was crucial for us as we are developing a wood waste classification framework that will help to improve material flow management and support the transition towards a more circular wood supply chain in the European Union.
W2W project participated in the Innovent Forum in Greece, highlighting how our project leverages human-robot collaboration and mixed reality to enhance separation capacity.
Interlinked crises of biodiversity loss, climate change, food and health insecurity and pollution require interlinked responses, now! This was the main key message of the latest Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) report titled “Nexus Assessment” released last week, which emphasises the urgent need to think and act holistically instead of making separate
