This workshop will offer a platform to explore emerging technologies that help reduce reliance on scarce materials imports. Development of alternative technologies and sustainable approaches to design and materials use, remains a long-term strategy that will require continued research investment to develop viable alternatives, as well as reviewing the implications involved with substitution in industry.
This workshop will identify emerging thinking, technologies and opportunities in Germany, the UK and other European countries for collaboration. It offers the opportunity to exchange best practices across Europe in four key areas:
- Securing access to rare resources – extraction and partnerships
- Resource efficiency and sustainable alternatives (substitutes)
- Cost efficient and innovative recycling
- Reducing waste in production and design – sustainability strategies
Prior registration is required for this workshop.
