W2W project participated in the Innovent Forum in Greece, highlighting how our project leverages human-robot collaboration and mixed reality to enhance separation capacity.
Waste Management World (WMW) talked with project coordinator Dr Angelos Amditis about the state of wood recycling in Europe, the challenges of wood recycling and the goals of the project.
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
What does pasta and PLA (biodegradable polymers) have in common? They are both derived from the same initial source: wheat! Imagine explaining this linkage to kids, and you have task cut out for you! Researchers at the Laboratory of Polymers Technology (NTUA-LPT) had a field day at the Researchers’ Night, a pan-European initiative held in
The Wood2Wood project plenary in Thessaloniki was packed with updates from consortium partners, covering a wide range of topics: valorisation pathways, mapping existing wood waste stakeholders, the functioning of Cobots (human-robot collaboration), mixed reality systems for enhanced separation and sorting, and cascade refinement technologies for wood waste upcycling, among other innovations. The project plenary, organised
The 2025 edition of the European Robotics Forum (ERF) is requesting for submissions of challenging Use Cases and applications for the “Challenging Robotics/AI Use Cases by End-Users” for a workshop.
From sorting and separation to material recovery and recycling using artificial intelligence and robotics, the EU projects workshop at Ecomondo, organised by consortium partner International Solid Waste Association (ISWA), showcased the collective efforts of European Union-funded projects to transition towards a circular economy through sustainable waste management practices. The annual exhibition in Rimini, Italy, collectivised
Our demand for ecological resources and services now exceeds what the Earth can renew this year.
The Nature Restoration law recently came into force, is a big win for the environment and EU citizens.
W2W focuses on reusing, repurposing, recycling, and valorising wood waste, perfectly aligning with Earth Day Ethos.
