On 4 June, we held the first Cluster Tech Day. It was a very enriching day of knowledge transfer where we discovered some of the innovative solutions on which EURECAT is working for the management and recovery of complex and textile waste and on the value chain of batteries.
We visited the installations of the Eurecat centre in Manresa, getting to know first-hand the different tools and research there are working on for the waste sector and we heard a series of talks on specific waste streams:
BLOCK I: The recovery of complex waste:
- Pyrolysis and gasification for the recovery of complex waste: Waste to X _ Victor Ortíz
- Strategies for the recovery of water and minimisation of complex effluents _ Andrea Navas
BLOCK III: The recovery of textile waste:
- Recovery of textile waste and sustainable threads _ Francesc Mañosa
- Recent advances in the advanced recycling of textile waste _ Luis Ángel Martínez
BLOCK IV: The value chain of batteries:
- Innovations for the circularity of batteries _ Albert Martínez
- Design of sustainable materials through the recovery of waste and replacement of CRM _ Montse Vilaseca
- Traceability through blockchain: battery Passport _ Aleix Vila
Many thanks to everyone for coming and particularly to Eurecat for inviting us to their installations and for sharing their knowledge.
We are beginning to prepare the next Tech Day, watch this space!
