Use-reuse-upcycle-recycle? If you are interested in circular economy and if you would like to find out how to make carbon black from bicycle tires, then you should not miss this lecture. Our guest lecturer will not only explain the challenges of a circular economy in theory, he will also shed light on practical implications for making local material cycles for bioresources profitable. Our guest lecturer will give an overview of novel green technologies and the challenges linked to their integration in society. Using the case of :metabolon, he will give an overview of main areas of research and innovation including organic and inorganic waste materials, treatment facilities on technical scale, and interdisciplinary approach, biotechnology, mechanical and chemical engineering, and automation using AI. Two respondents will give their professional insights highlighting solutions from the point of view of the City of Graz and the Region of Styria, Austria.
