TT.VII - Technical Multi-Track with Parallel SYMPOSIA
The importance of recycling, recovery, and reuse of materials in the energy transition
Co-organized with Polytechnic University of Turin, IIT Center for Sustainable Future Technologies - CSFT@POLITO, INRIM, University of Genova Chair: Marzia QUAGLIO, Polytechnic University of Turin
As we are facing the transition to a low-carbon and sustainable energy system, there is a growing need to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and minimize the environmental impact of our energy production and consumption. Recycling, recovery, and reuse of materials play a critical role in this transition, as they help conserve natural resources, reduce waste, and minimize greenhouse gas emissions. This workshop symposium brings together experts to share their knowledge and experiences in the recycling, recovery, and reuse of materials for sustainable energy production and consumption. The topics covered will include but not limited to circular economy, waste-to-energy, material recovery from end-of-life products, and sustainable supply chains. The objectives of this workshop symposium are to provide an opportunity to exchange ideas, discuss the latest advances, and identify the challenges in the recycling, recovery, and reuse of materials for sustainable energy production and consumption.
