This #EURegionsWeek 2025 side event will showcase how Europe’s circular value chains can become more inclusive, resilient and sustainable, with a focus on microelectronics, resource recovery and circular economy infrastructure.
It will present the CLOSER and EVEN-CLOSER projects which tackle the recovery of secondary raw materials from e-waste for reuse in the manufacture of chips and microlectronics.
The International Seminar on Plastic Characterisation took place on 29 and 30 October, hosted by AIMPLAS, the Plastics Technology Centre. About a hundred international specialists discussed the latest analytical techniques applied to plastic characterisation, environmental degradation and the challenges of the circular economy. See what was discussed!
The Advanced Recycling Conference will explore all available recycling technologies for various waste streams, as well as considering policy topics and environmental impacts.
It will bring together technology providers, related industries, waste management companies, brands and investors as well as policy makers and scientists active in the field of recycling and provide a framework for new partnerships, ideas, approaches and value chains.
The ECCA has been set up by the European Composites Industry Association to provide a platform for knowledge sharing and cooperation, driving collective action to establish truly circular, sustainable value chains for composite materials.
The EU-funded REFRESH project is organising a webinar to present its progress in developing innovative technologies for recycling end-of-service wind turbine blades.
The International Plastics Recycling Seminar, PLASREC, is a benchmark event for professionals in the recycling industry. It will feature over 20 presentations by internationally renowned experts who will address the key challenges, technological advances and regulatory frameworks shaping the plastics recycling sector.
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.
Hazards Out! is an initiative aiming to raise awareness about the mandatory separate collection of household hazardous waste (HHW) and support local authorities and other relevant stakeholders with establishing effective HHW management strategies.
It is organising a series of webinars on the topic: the third Hazards Out! episode will explore the industrial perspective and the role of Extended Producer Responsibility schemes in the separate collection and treatment of HHW.
