Technical and Networking events

The first technical and networking events of the URBANREC project took place in February and June 2018. They are organised with the aim to promote project activities and results to regional actors of relevance, including representatives of the end-users, suppliers and manufacturers, as well as the scientific community.

On 23
February 2018, two events took place in parallel: a technical workshop and a
networking event. The first results regarding fibre reinforced composites from
recycled textile and plastic urban waste were presented to an industrial and
business audience during the technical workshop. The parallel networking event
was targeting public bodies and the wider public by presenting the different
activities developed within the project to reduce bulky waste in Flanders –
including the dismantling service, mobile application and the customer portal.

The second
technical worshop was organised on the 19 June 2018 in Bordeaux, France. It
focused on first results regarding future bonding technologies such as
development of mattress adhesives based on recycled urban waste. The event drew
a lot of interest with more than 200 registered participants.

The next
networking event will take place on 20 November 2018 in Germany and will be
hosted by RAMPF. The topic will be polyols and rebounding.
