Building a Circular Economy is key to a sustainable supply chain in any industry. This means eliminating waste and turning it into something new, or re-using it. Future-proofing for these sectors also plays a major role in ensuring environmental targets are achieved and goals continue to be met.
This conference area will highlight the importance of recycling and circular manufacturing solutions, as well as offer attendees advice on building a ‘green’ framework they can implement, with the support of Associations and advisors. Sessions will focus on how to close the recycling loop, the demand for low carbon products and understanding policies for material efficiency.
09.00 - 10.30 Welcome Speeches and Keynote Addresses in the Plenary Theatre
Anthony Hobley, Executive Director, Mission Possible Partnership
Lord Adair Turner, Chair, Energy Transitions Commission
Lord Barker of Battle, Executive Chairman, EN+ Group and former UK Energy and Climate Change Minister
11.00 - 12.00 What Will it Take to Close the Recycling Loop? Hosted by Circulor
In an ideal industrial production future, recycled materials will replace all virgin materials and we will design and create products that are easily separated, collected and recycled. The reality is that the details of Europe’s industrial transition to a circular and low-carbon economy are only just emerging, and the dream of “full circularity” is a long way off. These experts will explore what it will take to move from vision to reality.
Moderator: Geoff Scamans, Chief Scientific Officer, Innoval Technology Limited
12.15 - 12.30 Spotlight Session
12.30 - 14.00 Lunch Break
14.00 - 14.30 Cross-cutting roadmap to decarbonisation
14:30 - 15:00 Lightning Talks: Driving Demand for Low Carbon Materials and Products
How
are stakeholders in the steel, cement, aluminium, glass and chemicals
sectors developing common labelling standards and markets for low-carbon
products? These sharp focused talks will help your business future
proof and prepare for the low-carbon future.
15.00 - 15.30 Refreshment Break
15.30 - 15.45 Leading The Way with 'Circular' Production Processes and Approaches
Early-adopter companies are embracing circular economy principles.
How
are end buyers collaborating with industry to use fewer materials by
design, manufacture longer-lasting products and use materials and
resources more efficiently? And what are the lessons learned around
putting these approaches into action? How are business models changing?
15.45 - 16.30 All About Policy for Material Efficiency
Two years ago, the European Commission unveiled its new Industrial Strategy with measures to support industrial decarbonisation and Circular Economy Action Plan to help Europe transition to a more resilient and less wasteful economy. As the plans are translated into legislation and targets, come with your questions for experts who can help you navigate what you need to know about the EU’s next steps, policies and measures for advancing material efficiency in the cement, steel, aluminium, chemicals and glass sectors.
16.30 - 17.15 Global Cooperation for Green Industrial Transitions
What is it? Why is it important? And what are governments and stakeholders doing about it?
17.15 - 18.00 How to Transform Supply Chains to Reduce End-Use emissions
How
can companies tackle scope 3 emissions? Hear the latest thinking about
joint investments and alliances across the value chain. Find out what
incentives are needed to get buy-in and multi-partner solutions for zero
carbon future supply chains. This is your chance to ask the questions,
learn and collaborate with your industry peers.
18.00 - Drinks Reception
09.00 - 10.45 Speaker Hosted Roundtables - LIMITED ROUNDTABLES AVAILABLE FOR SPONSORSHIP
Interactive roundtable sessions of up to 10 delegates offer a unique opportunity to come together with peers to share best practice and develop solutions to critical challenges facing hard-to-abate manufacturing sectors. Each roundtable session lasts for 45 minutes, and delegates may attend up to 2 roundtables.
10.45 - 11.15 Refreshment Break
11.15 - 11:30 From Reforming to Transforming Foundation Industries with Circular Economy Strategies
For sustainability it is essential that average resource use per person is hugely reduced, for example in the UK it has to be halved. This presents a huge challenge for foundation industries and their supply chains. Foundation industries must reinvent themselves with new circular business models.
11:30 - 12:00 In Conversation With…Companies Leading The Way with 'Circular' Production Processes and Approaches
Early-adopter companies are embracing circular economy principles.
How are end buyers collaborating with industry to use fewer materials by design, manufacture longer-lasting products and use materials and resources more efficiently? And what are the lessons learned around putting these approaches into action? How are business models changing?
12.00 - 12.15 Spotlight Session - AVAILABLE FOR SPONSORSHIP
12.15 - 12.45 Ask an Expert: The Future of Carbon Pricing
Led by an industry leader, this session is an opportunity to learn, connect and ask questions related to carbon pricing in the hard-to-abate manufacturing industries.
