NEFI Technology Talk: Circular Economy in Industry

The circular economy is no longer just a model for the future—it is the key to a sustainable transformation of industry. In a world where resource scarcity and environmental impact are increasingly urgent issues, innovative approaches such as plastic and textile recycling, urban mining, and “future waste” offer new perspectives for industry. Cross-sector solutions are required that address not only technological but also regulatory challenges.

The NEFI Technology Talk “Circular Economy in Industry” presents practical examples from ongoing NEFI projects and demonstrates how companies can successfully integrate circular economy principles into their production processes. Future-relevant topics are addressed and discussed to collaboratively develop new solutions for a resource-efficient and climate-friendly industry.

The focus is on:

• Innovative technologies in plastic and textile recycling, urban mining, and “future waste”
• Cross-sector collaborations driving the transformation forward
• Networking of stakeholders from various sectors to promote exchange and cooperation
• Regulatory challenges to be tackled in order to fully exploit the potential of the circular economy

NEFI – New Energy for Industry, the Austrian innovation network driving industrial transformation towards climate neutrality, presents new pathways and innovative approaches for a resource-efficient, climate-friendly industrial future within the NEFI Technology Talks. This event series brings together technology developers, companies, and research partners to collaboratively work on the solutions of tomorrow.
