🔍 EuReComp 36-Month Review Meeting successfully completed in Athens In recent weeks, the 36-Month Review Meeting of the EuReComp Project took place at National Technical University of Athens , hosted by the R-NanoLab team. The meeting gathered all project partners, alongside our Project Officer George Kotsikos and Project Monitor Mr. Alexander Mark Robinson, who assessed the progress achieved so far. Over the course of the meeting, partners presented the advancements made across various activities, focusing on delivering solutions that promote sustainability and circularity in composite materials. This gathering offered valuable feedback, highlighted future priorities, and reinforced the consortium’s shared commitment to driving innovative approaches in composite recycling and reuse. The EuReComp team will continue building on this progress as the project moves towards its final phase. ♻️ 👥 Our Team: R-NanoLab, INEGI driving science & innovation, Technische Universität Dresden, B&T Composites, IRES, Elbe Flugzeugwerke GmbH, Kunststoff-Zentrum in Leipzig gGmbH (KUZ), Dallara, The Silesian University of Technology, HTWK Leipzig, ITA · Instituto Tecnológico de Aragón, Politecnico di Torino, AIMEN Centro Tecnológico, BioG3D, University of Patras, EASN Technology Innovation Services, STRATAGEM Ltd, Fraunhofer Institute for Process Engineering and Packaging IVV , Circularise #EuReComp #CompositeRecycling #CircularEconomy #Sustainability European Health and Digital Executive Agency (HaDEA)

🌍 ♻️ PRecycling Project at the PRIMUS Project EU Final Event! PRecycling Project was proud to participate in the PRIMUS Project EU Final Event in Brussels, where we joined forces with our sister EU projects PRIMUS Project EU, INCREACE, and ABSolEU Project to advance circular economy solutions and reduce plastic waste. 💡 During the synergies session, we engaged in a joint presentation and discussion, highlighting: ✅ An overview of PRecycling, its challenges, and solutions ✅ Key joint activities, including communication messages, webinars, and seminars ✅ Defining recyclates in Europe, a shared focus across all sister projects Collaboration is key to driving sustainability, and we’re excited to continue working together to transform waste into valuable resources. Our shared goals include: 🔸 Defining recyclates & characterizing waste streams for high-quality recycling 🔸 Strengthening strategic dissemination and stakeholder engagement 🔸 Advancing the circular economy for a greener future 🤝 A big thank you to the PRIMUS Project EU project partners for the excellent hosting and to INCREACE and ABSolEU Project teams for the productive discussions. Looking forward to our next steps! #PRecycling #PRIMUS #INCREACE #ABSolEU #CircularEconomy #PlasticWasteReduction #Sustainability #Recycling

🎗️ March is Endometriosis Awareness Month #Endometriosis affects 190 million women and individuals worldwide, yet it remains widely misunderstood. This March, let’s amplify the voices of those living with this chronic disease and work together to raise awareness, drive education, and advocate for better care. Chronic pain - severe abdominal, pelvic pain, painful periods, and pain during sex - impacts the daily lives of those with endometriosis, often for 26 days a month, on average. Despite this, many face years of diagnostic delays, which creates a gap that urgently needs closing. That’s where action comes in. The Endometriosis Association, a leading advocate since 1980, is at the forefront of raising awareness and funding critical research to better understand and treat endometriosis. But it doesn’t stop there - together, we can focus on how to advance change and support those living with this condition. We’re also thrilled to announce that the SENSOPAD website is coming soon to be a hub for information about endometriosis. Stay tuned for valuable resources on the latest research on the diagnostic process. Want to dive deeper into this important cause? Check out European Pain Federation EFIC’s webinars on endometriosis for expert insights on managing the condition and advocating for better healthcare options.

📸 The 3rd EuReComp Workshop is now behind us—and what a day it was! Held last week at National Technical University of Athens in Greece, the workshop brought together voices from research, industry, and policy to exchange insights, showcase innovation, and discuss tangible paths toward sustainable composite recycling. 💡From meaningful conversations to inspiring presentations and valuable networking, the day was filled with energy, ideas, and forward-thinking momentum. Topics covered included large-scale wind blade recycling, bio-based composite materials, multi-criteria decision-making tools for circularity, and real-world applications from other EU-funded projects such as REPOXYBLE project, REFRESH project EU, EU-Project r-LightBioCom, and BLADES2BUILD. 👏 A warm thank you to all our speakers, participants—both in person and online—and everyone working behind the scenes. Let’s keep the collaboration going. The journey toward circularity continues. 👥 Our Team: R-NanoLab, INEGI driving science & innovation, Technische Universität Dresden, B&T Composites, IRES, Elbe Flugzeugwerke GmbH, Kunststoff-Zentrum in Leipzig gGmbH (KUZ), Dallara, The Silesian University of Technology, HTWK Leipzig, ITA · Instituto Tecnológico de Aragón, Politecnico di Torino, AIMEN Centro Tecnológico, BioG3D, University of Patras, EASN Technology Innovation Services, STRATAGEM Ltd, Fraunhofer Institute for Process Engineering and Packaging IVV , Circularise #EuReComp #CompositeRecycling #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #Workshop European Health and Digital Executive Agency (HaDEA)
