In-depth insights: material flows in the cycle, innovation projects and the latest technologies. Our Spotlight Areas offer valuable and exciting insights into current topics such as battery recycling, plastics recycling, digitalization in water management, and hydrogen.
Best practice in real trending materials: battery recycling is becoming more and more important, especially due to the growing number of e-cars. This is just one of the reasons for the BDE, together with associations and companies as partners, to present this material flow at a Spotlight Area. Practical examples will show that recycling management is already successful with batteries and that all the hidden resources are far from being fully exhausted.
As an initiator of the circular economy, mechanical and plant engineering provides technologies for the various possibilities of recycling plastics. Both mechanical and chemical recycling offer the opportunity to keep plastics in the cycle for longer and thus conserve resources. The Spotlight Area “Variations of plastics recycling” will highlight these technologies, demonstrate their potential and identify their limitations. Always with the goal in mind of keeping plastics in the cycle with the best possible, most resource-saving technology.
What can the future of energy supply with hydrogen in the municipal circular economy look like? Visit us, take a look into the supply landscape of tomorrow and listen to the exciting presentations.
The DWA offers you an additional digital insight at this Spotlight Area at its booth in the Entrance Hall West. This is where you will get a digital insight into the Best Practice Model of the Emscher Reconstruction. Expect interesting and exciting impressions with the "Digital Twin".
Digital representations of buildings, facilities and systems help to better understand and track the processes involved in planning, construction, operation and maintenance.
Techniques such as AR and VR can be used to visualize these digital models. Get a special insight into digital water management at our Spotlight Area and take part in our special program.
