Artificial Intelligence: What is an AI-driven Circular Economy?
According to Sid Argawal (Lead, Plastics and Technology) and Clemence Schmid (Director, Global Plastics Action Partnership) from the World Economic Forum, the AI-driven circular economy is the key to overcoming data fragmentation and managing global resource cycles. They wrote in an article, which was part of the organization’s annual meeting: Transitioning to a circular economy […]
How Briquetting Helps Turn Machining Chips into a Higher-Value Recycling Stream
In metalworking, chips are generated in large volumes every day during turning, milling and sawing. Yet their loose form creates multiple disadvantages: they take up space, complicate handling and transport, often retain cooling lubricants, and can lead to material losses in downstream recycling. For recyclers, foundries and machining companies alike, the question is no longer […]
UV Drinking Water Disinfection
At IFAT 2026 in Munich, Trojan Technologies will present AQUAFIDES and TrojanUV systems for water disinfection. Last year, internationally active Veralto Corporation, the mother company of Trojan Technologies, acquired Austria-based ultraviolet (UV) disinfection company AQUAFIDES. This acquisition allows Trojan Technologies to better serve small and mid-sized municipalities by offering an expanded portfolio of certified products […]
Wastewater Treatment Plants with Low Energy Consumption
At IFAT 2026, Clearstream Water Treatment GmbH will showcase its modular STP-PRIME platform for municipal and decentralized wastewater treatment. The focus is on a compact, high-performance Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) that can be expanded with modules for the fourth treatment stage when required. The vertically configured high-load reactor design would deliver high throughput capacity with […]
IFAT Munich 2026: Focus on Municipal Water
According to the organizers, cities and municipalities are under significant pressure to improve water and wastewater management due to stricter regulations, climate change impacts, and increasing investment demands, all while facing limited resources. As emphasized, IFAT Munich 2026 will show, which technical, regulatory and organizational solutions municipalities need now. From May 4 to 7, 2026, […]

Solar Panel Recycling Market to Reach USD 2.1 Billion by 2033
As global solar capacity advances toward multi-terawatt levels, a critical question is emerging alongside the expansion of photovoltaic (PV) infrastructure: what happens when solar panels reach the end of their operating life? This question now guides the evolution of the Solar Panel Recycling Market, a sector gaining momentum as decommissioned PV modules increase and resource […]
Closing the Loop for PET Trays
Tray-to-tray recycling is becoming a recognized approach for advancing circularity in plastic packaging, especially for food-grade applications. The PET tray stream has long been underutilized: around one million tons enter the EU market each year, yet about 70% is still lost. Recent EU legislation such as the SUPD and PPWR is now driving change and […]
Fire Reduction by Employing AI
The German company Korn Recycling has reduced a major safety risk in its sorting plant in Albstadt: fires caused by improperly disposed lithium-ion batteries. Battery.Sort by WeSort.AI provides preventive protection for sorting facilities. As reported by the provider, the AI-powered Battery.Sort solution from Würzburg-based company WeSort.AI was integrated into the commercial waste sorting facility earlier […]
Technological Upgrade in Colombia
Holcim Colombia and Geocycle have modernized and expanded their co-processing platform in Nobsa, Boyacá.
