The EU-funded RECLAIM project aimed to develop low-cost, portable, easy to install and highly productive 'portable robotic Material Recovery Facilities' (prMRF), which will enable full material recovery anywhere, even in the most remote areas.
As its first real-world test, the project deployed the world's first AI-powered portable recycling plant in the island of Kefalonia in Greece, bringing on-site waste sorting to European islands and remote destinations.
This two-day event of intense cross-border and cross-sectoral pitching, matchmaking and networking aims to link industry to innovative (biobased) technologies, and innovators to investors.
IFAT Munich is the world’s leading trade fair for environmental technologies. It offers cutting-edge solutions for water, recycling and circularity with a strong focus on innovations with a global impact.
Decarbonising mobility will leverage efficiency, modal shift, vehicle electrification and a reduced production footprint of vehicles.
With a focus on dismantling, this study looks at steel decarbonisation. This is a priority since steel is the most widely used material in cars and trucks and the second-largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions in vehicle manufacturing.
It recommends establishing a new commercial standard which accounts for improved shredded scrap quality, thereby increasing its market value and benefiting the entire value chain. This added value creation could also help limit the export of ELVs outside the EU, which poses multiple concerns, including safety issues and the loss of strategic materials critical for European industry resilience.
Waste management in remote areas, or where waste generation temporarily increases, makes it difficult to justify large-scale infrastructure development. To address this, the RECLAIM project has developed a low-cost, portable, AI-powered robotic material recovery plant, which will initially be deployed in the Greek Islands.
EUIndTech2025 will bring together stakeholders from research organisations, industry, industry associations, NGOs and policy makers to discuss state-of-the-art technologies, technological challenges and future trends in the field of industrial technologies.
It will focus on presenting solutions and best practices while developing written recommendations for new EU policies in four key areas: technology, materials, science and business, community in action.
The 1st International Congress on Algae Biotechnology will bring together a dynamic mix of researchers, industry leaders, entrepreneurs and policy makers to shape the future of algae innovation.
Organised by PROALGA and GreenCoLab, this event will explore groundbreaking advances and practical applications of algae in sustainability, health and industry. Come and find out about the latest research, discover disruptive technologies and network with pioneers shaping the algae ecosystem!
This year, the European Roundtable on Sustainable Consumption and Production will focus on Multi-stakeholder cooperation on sustainability: Role of business, academia, public sector and civil society in Sustainable Consumption and Production.
This publication contains the results of over 74 projects completed as part of the Circular Ecoinnovation Programme between 2017 and 2023. The programme, managed by Ihobe, the environmental management agency of the Basque Government’s Ministry for Economic Development, Sustainability and the Environment, drives ecodesign, circular economy demonstration and strategic ecoinnovation in Basque companies.
The market, commercial, economic, technical or environmental feasibility of each project has been graphically included in each datasheet.
See also the website listing all the Basque Country's circular solutions to date.
