The Data Centre Industry (DCI) is one of the most important pillars of current technological and economic developments.
In DCIs, more than fifty different materials can be found per product, including ferrous, non-ferrous metals, precious metals (PM), platinum group metals (PGM), rare earth elements (REE), plastics and/or ceramics, some being considered as Critical Raw Materials (CRMs).
This assessment aims to study DCI design and material composition (specifically servers and switches), as well as to analyse their performance in a circular economy and provide recommendations for ecodesign guidelines.
R-PVC Hub aims to promote cooperation between all stakeholders in the PVC recycling sector, including the businesses collecting waste, processing it and producing items containing recycled material.
One goal of the platform is to inform stakeholders about national and European rules on PVC waste and technological innovations in the field of waste sorting and management and the definition of by-products, waste and secondary raw materials.
It also links up supply and demand: businesses list what they have or need and the precise specifications of the PVC.
Kierrätyskeskus is a network of secondhand shops in the Helsinki area. As well as selling on donated items, they repair electrical goods and offer training sessions on the circular economy.
