However, making the transition to a circular raw materials economy requires close work between many different fields of expertise, such as geology, engineering, materials technology and behavioural science. The concept of a circular raw materials economy also demands more specific knowledge about resource use in the built environment, and the recycling potential of items such as buildings, cars and smartphones.
As a part of this important discussion, the Center for Minerals and Materials (MiMa) invites you to a series of lectures under the title: Recycling opportunities and challenges for a sustainable supply of raw materials. MiMa has asked three internationally renowned scientists to put focus on the opportunities as well as the challenges connected to the recycling of raw materials:
- April 6 th kl. 13: Prof. Dr. techn. Helmut Rechberger: How to assess the building materials stock as a potential raw materials source
PLACE: Auditorium C, University of Copenhagen, Department of Geoscienes and Natural Resource Management, Oester Voldgade 10, 1350 - entrance through the Rotunda; follow the arrows (Please notice time and place )
