RECREATE Workshop at Rematec Amsterdam

The transition to a circular economy is essential for the future of European industries. RECREATE extends the invitation to a dedicated event at Rematec Amsterdam on April 9, 2025, from 14:00 to 17:00 to explore the latest advancements in sustainable manufacturing organised by APRA Europe, in collaboration with META Circularity.

The event will begin with presentations from project coordinators, offering insights into different approaches to increase circularity:

 
 
  • rEUman – Digitally-enhanced, human-centric remanufacturing solutions.
  • RECREATE – Circular strategies for fibre-reinforced composites.
  • ZEvRA – Zero-emission electric vehicles through harmonized circularity.
  • REMANET – Realizing circular economy goals through refabrication.

Following the presentations and Q&A sessions, an interactive workshop will engage participants in identifying key challenges and opportunities in remanufacturing, focusing on:

  • Creating a secondary market for regenerated composites, exploring design for disassembly, AI-driven material recovery, and best practices.
  • Enhancing traceability and Digital Product Passports, uncovering cross-sector opportunities and innovative tracking solutions.
  • Developing new circular business models, addressing supply chain innovations, remanufacturing opportunities in EVs, and customer engagement strategies.

The event will conclude with a group discussion and networking session, providing an excellent opportunity to connect with industry experts and stakeholders

This event is a part of Challenge Circularity initiative with the main aim to bringing innovation to market and accelerate the transition to  circular economy.
