Boost circular economy through Additive Manufacturing - Challenge Framing

For decades, society is confronted with an ever-increasing demand for resources and energy, and consequently steadily increasing waste. The proper handling of resources, the design of production processes, and the use and reuse of products and related materials require innovative concepts across the entire value chain. Additive manufacturing can play an important role in this systemic challenge, providing potentials for radical innovation and solutions for a circular economy.
In our workshops (2 dates), you will discuss and develop needs and ideas in interdisciplinary teams together with experts from the Innovation Boosters Additive Manufacturing and Applied Circular Sustainability on how additive manufacturing can make an important contribution on the way to a circular economy.
