Circular Valley Convention
The topics of the conference
As a content hub, the conference offers a broad spectrum of topics relating to the circular economy.
Under the leitmotif “Enabling Circular Economy”, the main topics are divided into three transformative categories and eight specific topics.
Value Cycles for Plastics
The circular economy for plastics is a central topic of the circular economy.
It shows how closed material cycles can minimize the use of new plastics and maximize recycling.
Innovative approaches in the areas of product design and materials science play a key role in this.
Circular Construction industry
The construction industry is facing the challenge of becoming more sustainable.
The focus is on resource-efficient construction methods, waste avoidance and maximizing the service life of building materials and buildings.
By integrating circular principles, the construction industry can make a significant contribution to reducing CO₂ emissions.
Circular Packaging and Printing
Packaging and printed products are ubiquitous and their design has a major impact on the environment.
This topic area presents solutions that make packaging and printed products fully recyclable or biodegradable, thus closing the loop.
Electronic products in a circular economy
Electronic products often have a short lifespan, which leads to considerable amounts of e-waste.
Strategies for extending the lifespan of electronic products and reducing e-waste through reuse and recycling will be discussed.
Circular Digitalization and Artificial Intelligence
Digitalization and the use of artificial intelligence offer enormous potential for the optimization of circular business models.
This project examines how digital technologies can help to use resources more efficiently and tap into new value creation potential in the circular economy.
Circular Logistics
Logistics plays a decisive role in the implementation of circular value chains.
This topic area highlights innovative solutions that make the transportation and storage of goods more resource-efficient, thereby making the entire supply chain more sustainable.
Circular Business Models Strategies
The development of business models based on circular principles is a key to success in the circular economy.
This section presents examples of successful implementations of circular business models that not only make companies more sustainable, but also more competitive.
Sustainable Finance
The financing of sustainable and circular projects is crucial for their implementation.
Strategies and models are presented that make it possible to invest capital in sustainable business models and thus support the transition to the circular economy.
