Use Case Spotlight: Sustainable Steel in Automotive đ
Get to know the ZEvRA use casesâstarting with our work on car components like fenders and bonnets made from recycled steel (with 0% virgin material). This process reduces COâ emissions, avoids smelting, and supports a circular economy. Itâs a key step in making low-emission vehicles possible from the materials up. ZEvRA partners involved: Fraunhofer IWU, […]
Invitation to the Zero to Circular Workshop
The demand for circular economy materials is acceleratingâand fast. By 2030, the EUâs recycling rate is expected to nearly double from 11.8% (2023) to 23.3%, driven by both economic incentives (reduced material and COâ costs) and evolving regulatory frameworks. To meet these ambitious targets, innovation in circular design is critical. Thatâs where two groundbreaking EU-funded projectsâSALIENT and ZEvRAâcome in. đ§ SALIENT (Novel Concepts for Safer, Lighter, Circular, […]
