Less Details

To achieve true sustainability in manufacturing, circular economy principles must be embedded from the very beginning. This session explores how companies can design machine and process solutions that align with R-strategies (Reuse, Repair, Recycle) while optimizing material efficiency, including sustainable packaging. Learn how to integrate circularity into your business model and stay ahead in an evolving regulatory landscape. In this session you will learn:

  • How to embed circular economy principles into machine and process solutions from the design phase.
  • Strategies for implementing R-strategies (Reuse, Repair, Recycle) to extend product and component lifecycles.
  • Best practices for selecting and optimizing sustainable packaging materials for industrial applications.
  • How circular approaches drive cost efficiency, regulatory compliance, and long-term competitiveness.
