This year, this long-standing event will shift the focus to the circular economy. Six tracks of plenary sessions and workshops will stretch over two days, exploring topics such as reuse, responsible production and consumption, and anticipating future events.
The Association for Farmers Rights Defence (AFRD) in Georgia is working with farmers, researchers, innovators, SMEs and local communities to develop circular value chains. Agricultural waste is used as a raw material, cutting waste and helping farmers.
Biogas Thrace S.A. is setting up three biogas plants which will be supplied with agricultural and industrial organic waste by a network of local farmers working on long-term contracts. The farmers will receive fertiliser and reduce their waste disposal costs, and the plants will each generate 24GWh/y.
French industry discards a huge percentage of its production output. Maximum uses those valuable rejects to make standardised furniture, such as chairs, tables and benches.
Through advanced mechanical recycling, rPET InWaste makes food-grade recycled PET regranulate from PET flakes derived from post-consumer PET beverage bottles.
This process avoids downcycling of PET materials and means that food containers can be recycled in new food containers.
Bulgarian company Nord Holding has been collecting various waste streams for recycling since 1995. Since 2022, it has been developing its own recycling capacity for streams such as tyres and aluminium.
