Use Case Spotlight: Sustainable Steel in Automotive 🚗
Get to know the ZEvRA use cases—starting with our work on car components like fenders and bonnets made from recycled steel (with 0% virgin material). This process reduces CO₂ emissions, avoids smelting, and supports a circular economy. It’s 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 accelerating—and fast. By 2030, the EU’s recycling rate is expected to nearly double from 11.8% (2023) to 23.3%, driven by both economic incentives (reduced material and CO₂ costs) and evolving regulatory frameworks. To meet these ambitious targets, innovation in circular design is critical. That’s where two groundbreaking EU-funded projects—SALIENT and ZEvRA—come in. 🔧 SALIENT (Novel Concepts for Safer, Lighter, Circular, […]
