POLREC General Assembly

On the 12^th and 13^th of September, the POLREC consortium held its General Assembly at the Clúster de Materials Avançats de Catalunya headquarters in Barcelona. The meeting brought together consortium members to review the project’s progress and outline the strategy to support SMEs in recycling their polymer waste and digitalize their processes.

In the agenda was the state of play from the different work packages and the preparation of the future events and open calls in the scope of the project.

A big thank you to the Clúster MAV team for the excellent hosting and organisation of the event, and to all the attending members for their valuable contributions!

The meeting was crucial in defining the future strategy of the project, which aims to support SMEs in the recycling of their polymer waste.
