This workshop asks how secondary raw materials – recovered and valorised from waste streams into feedstock, including in the built environment – can move from environmental proof-of-concept to market-ready product.
Advanced recycling and upcycling technologies are already generating secondary material streams. But the real challenge is processing, trust, and scaling these outputs into usable industrial feedstock.
Four speakers from four different walks of life gathered together to discuss the future skills the current workforce needs by 2030 to be able to support the transition to a circular economy in Europe.
This session brings together EU-funded project pilots to examine how advanced recycling and upcycling technologies are generating secondary material streams that can substitute virgin feedstock across recycling, process, and manufacturing industries.
This webinar explores how Europe is building the workforce it needs to deliver its circular ambitions by 2030.
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 RECAP cluster of 5 Horizon Europe projects showed just how much is already being done —AI, Robotics and Digital Twins being applied across sectors to make circular processes real.
The plenary in France will focus on presentation of recent pilot and technical developments across all Work Packages.
Experts from leading EU-funded projects will showcase cutting-edge advancements that contribute to the EU Green Deal, the Clean Industrial Deal, and Europe’s strategic autonomy in raw materials.
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.
