The CIRCULAR FOAM project (https://circular-foam.eu/), dedicated to establishing a systemic solution for the circularity of rigid polyurethane (PU) foams, used as insulation in refrigerators and construction, is reaching its final stage. After four years of intensive research, demonstration, and collaboration across Europe, the project is now ready to present its key achievements and insights.
We are delighted to invite you to the CIRCULAR FOAM Final Conference on 11 September 2025 in Brussels, Belgium, where we will showcase how technical innovation, smart recycling technologies, digital tools, and systemic thinking can come together to transform linear plastic value chains into circular ones.
The event will feature expert presentations, interactive sessions, and in-depth discussions on topics such as:
- Collection, sorting, and chemical recycling of end-of-life PU rigid foams
- Digital tools for design-for-circularity, including the Digital Product Passport
- Circular value network implementation, logistics, and economic models
- Regional collaboration strategies and stakeholder engagement
Participants can explore practical outcomes, network with project partners and stakeholders, and engage with a marketplace of solutions and thematic discussion tables.
Participation in the CIRCULAR FOAM Final Conference is free of charge.
Location: Representation of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia to the EU in Brussels (Rue Montoyer 47, 1000 Brussels (Belgium)).
Save the date and join us to explore the future of circular solutions for high-quality polymers!
