SUMMARY:WaterProof Webinar: Industrial-Urban Symbiosis – Industrial-Urban Symbiosis: Business\, Funding\, and Practical Insights
DESCRIPTION:24 March 2026\, 13:00-14:30 CET\, online \n\nTurning Underutilised Resources into Economic & Environmental Value \nIndustrial-Urban Symbiosis (I-US) enables new business opportunities though the collaboration of diverse stakeholders across various sectors. Hereby\, this innovative approach facilitates the exchange of underutilised resources\, e.g. by-products\, residues\, energy\, water\, capacities\, and expertise\, keeping materials productive longer. By repurposing outputs as inputs\, I-US can minimise resource extraction\, cut costs\, and advance objectives of the EU Circular Economy Action Plan. \nKey criteria of this value creation are aligned stakeholder interest and the exchange of perspectives. Businesses benefit from reduced raw material costs\, supply chain resilience\, lower disposal expenses\, and new revenue opportunities. Meanwhile local authorities and regions can profit from healthier ecosystems\, economic vitality\, and new job opportunities. These complementary goals drive economic resilience and systemic change towards sustained resource loops\, higher recycling rates and enhanced regional sustainability. \nTo turn theory into practice\, the EU-funded WaterProof project hosts the webinar “Industrial-Urban Symbiosis: Business\, Funding\, and Practical Insights”. Join on 24 March 2026 from 13:00 to 14:30 CET for targeted strategies and practical insights that will equip industry professionals and practitioners with proven I-US skills. \nRegister here! \n\nThe webinar will feature presentations from leading experts:\n\nAlena Jahns/Mara Wagner (IZES): Introduction to the WaterProof project and Industrial Urban Symbiosis.\nJames Woodcock (International Synergies Limited & H4C ECoP): Business cases and funding for I-US\nHannes Utikal (Provadis School\, Process4Sustainability at Industrial Park Höchst\, Frankfurt): Practical example: Industrial Symbiosis collaboration at Höchst Industrial Park.\nEric Schuler (Avantium): Embedding CCU/the volta technology in the I-US context\n\nThe WaterProof Project and I-US Integration \nThe EU-funded research project WaterProof implements I-US by developing a cutting-edge CO2 conversion technology . Powered by renewable energy\, this unique electrochemical process converts CO₂ captured from wastewater treatment and waste incineration into formic acid. It hereby turns emissions into a sustainable carbon feedstock replacing fossil resources. The generated formic acid will be tested in applications like fish leather tanning and consumer cleaning products as well as the formulation of Formic-derived Acidic Deep Eutectic Solvents (ADES). The project’s synergies perfectly illustrate I-US potentials: Urban CO₂ emissions supply chemical industries. Peroxide by-products treat wastewater contaminated with pesticides\, antibiotics\, and pharmaceuticals. Formic-derived Acidic Deep Eutectic Solvents (ADES) extract precious metals from ash and sludge\, creating closed loop circular systems.\nFor more information on the WaterProof project\, visit https://waterproof-project.eu.\nWaterProof is Funded by the European Union.

SUMMARY:nova Session: Policy Update on Circular Economy for the Chemicals and Materials Sector
DESCRIPTION:Hosts: Kaj Seeger and Luciano Proto Cassina (all nova-Institute)\n13:00 – 15:00 (CET) \nEurope\, and crucially\, the chemicals and materials sector\, is currently facing several challenges due to a rapidly changing global context. These changes are underpined by the ongoing impacts of the war in Ukraine\, fluctuating trade relations\, economic stagnation\, and the urgent need to address climate change.\nThe European Union has already recognised the potential that the chemicals and materials industries have to drive economic growth and mitigate climate. For this reason\, the European Union continues to foster its transformation to a sustainable and resilient economy\, with a strong focus on the transition towards circularity. This commitment is evident in a wave of upcoming and recently established policies designed to foster sustainability\, enhance competitiveness\, and accelerate decarbonisation. \nIf you are curious on how the current and forthcoming EU policy landscape looks like and which implications it may have for your business\, then join us for our upcoming nova Session: Policy Update on Circular Economy for the Chemical and Material Sector \nIn this two hours we will delve into the key legislative developments and strategic directions shaping the future of the industry. Our expert team will provide a comprehensive overview and insightful analysis of crucial topics\, including: \nTopics \n\nThe EU Competitiveness Compass\nThe Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR)\nThe Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR)\nThe Clean Industrial Deal\nIndustrial Decarbonisation Accelerator Act\nThe Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing Act\nThe Upcoming Bioeconomy Strategy\nThe Circular Economy Act\n\nThis session is designed to provide you with a clear understanding of these interconnected policies and their potential impact on your strategies and operations. \nWe look forward to helping you navigate the evolving policy landscape and unlock the opportunities presented by Europe’s transition towards a circular and sustainable future for the chemicals and materials industries. \nProgramme (all CET): \n\n\n\n13:00\nWelcome and introduction\nLuciano Proto Cassina\n\n\n13:15\nThe EU Competitiveness Compass and the role of the Chemicals and Materials Sector in contributing to the European Green Deal objectives.\nLuciano Proto Cassina\n\n\n13:30\nThe Clean Industrial Deal and the Industrial Decarbonisation Accelerator Act\nKaj Seeger\n\n\n13:55\nPreparing for the ESPR – VAUDE’s experience\nRené Bethmann\, VAUDE\n\n\n14:20\nThe upcoming Bioeconomy Strategy and the Circular Economy Act\nLuciano Proto Cassina\n\n\n14:45\nClosing Remarks and Wrap up\nKaj Seeger\n\n\n\n
