A networking event for laboratories and companies focused on recycling technologies

TheCarnot Institute for Chemistry, Balard Cirimat, the Chemistry Cluster, the University of Montpellier, and the CNRS, with the support of the University Innovation Cluster and in partnership withAd’occ, the DERBI Competitiveness Cluster and SATT AXLR, are organizing a morning conference dedicated to the recycling of metals and composites.

Researchers, industry representatives, and innovation leaders will come together to discuss the scientific, technological, and economic challenges associated with the recovery and recycling of strategic materials. 

Participants will learn about the scientific and technological advances that are turning environmental challenges into industrial opportunities.

The opportunity to explore innovative technologies and identify concrete ways to integrate these solutions into sustainable development strategies.
