NWE-REGENERATIS Workshop
Valorization of soils and polluted materials from metallurgical sites: current challenges and new tools developed in the framework of the NWE-REGENERATIS project
Description: The recovery of materials is one of the major axes in the framework of the climate transition and the economic reconversion of polluted sites. This workshop is organized in the framework of the NWE-REGENERATIS project which aims to provide a solution, based on data collected from demonstration sites, to recover aggregate materials (ferrous metals, white and black slag, other streams, ...) by urban mining techniques.
This workshop will be an excellent opportunity to explore urban mining from different aspects and will allow the identification of the main barriers and solutions for the implementation of future projects focused on resource recovery.
