EU Green Week workshop: From end-of-life to new life: circularity in action
The RECAP Cluster (Rethinking End-of-life through Circularity and Advanced Processes) is made up of five Horizon Europe projects: CompSTLar, BIO4EEB, iBot4CRMs, ICARUS and Wood2Wood. They aim to foster long-term collaboration and facilitate knowledge exchange on topics like AI, digital twins and robotics that are already contributing to European data sovereignty and supporting competitiveness in the sustainable manufacturing sector.
The cluster is organising a workshop showcasing high-tech solutions driving circularity across manufacturing and construction.
It will explore innovative solutions across critical, high-impact industries, including aerospace, construction and buildings, industrial manufacturing and advanced recycling. By demonstrating how digitalisation and advanced sorting enhance circularity, reduce waste and recover secondary materials, this event highlights the technologies strengthening European competitiveness.
Experts from leading EU-funded projects will showcase cutting-edge advances that contribute to the EU Green Deal, the Clean Industrial Deal and Europe's strategic autonomy in raw materials. Join them to learn how technological innovation can accelerate the transition to a greener, more resilient industrial economy.
The event is open to policymakers, researchers, industry professionals and stakeholders in digital innovation, automation and the circular economy. Leading experts from the five projects will present real-world applications of AI, digital twins and robotics in giving End-of-Life materials a new lease of life.
This is an official EU Green Week 2026 partner event. It will be in hybrid form and in English and take place at 10:00 - 12:30 CEST on 3 June. Programme and registration.
