AIMPLAS and the European Tyre Recycling Association (ETRA) will host an international workshop dedicated to exploring how recycled plastics and rubber can support the clean energy transition — and how renewable energy technologies can contribute to more sustainable recycling systems.

📅 12 December 2025
📍 Valencia, Spain

Topics to be explored

  • Use of recycled plastic and recycled tire materials in renewable energy technologies
  • Recycling of photovoltaic panels, wind turbine blades and batteries, and valorisation of recovered materials
  • Innovations in clean energy production and storage

Workshop format

The programme includes a poster session where companies and research centres will present project concepts and emerging technologies. This will be followed by an interactive round-table discussion guided by AIMPLAS and ETRA, focusing on priority areas for future European collaboration.

Objectives

  • Facilitate cooperation between the recycling and renewable energy sectors
  • Identify opportunities to integrate secondary raw materials into clean energy systems
  • Support the development of European initiatives aimed at improving circularity across energy-related value chains
