It’s official: Five Horizon Europe projects, including iBot4CRMs, have joined forces to form the RECAP Cluster, shortform for “Rethinking End-of-life through Circularity and Advanced Processes”.
The five projects comprise of CompSTLar, BIO4EEB, iBot4CRMs, ICARUS and Wood2Wood.
The main objective behind the RECAP cluster is to foster long-term collaboration and facilitate knowledge exchange on topics like AI, Digital Twins and Robotics that are already contributing to European data sovereignty and supporting competitiveness in the sustainable manufacturing sector.
The primary motivation of the Horizon Europe projects-led RECAP Cluster is to advance sustainability, reduce waste, and enhance European competitiveness across several key value chains, including aerospace composites (CompSTlar), industrial waste (ICARUS), critical raw materials (iBot4CRMs), wood waste from Construction and Demolition (Wood2Wood) and bio-based materials (Bio4EEB).
Wood2Wood project also announced the formation of the cluster. Read more here.
One of the first events that will kick-start RECAP cluster will be during the EU Green Week in Brussels as an official partner event where the RECAP cluster is organising a workshop on circularity in action. Details are below:
