Smarter Together
During this interactive session, explore how data, automation and smart design tools can help you earn more with fewer resources. Featured are the three 'digital circular buttons' that companies can turn directly. With Jan Westra & Gerard Blom (European Digitalisation and Innovation Hub).

Data & Legislation
New laws and regulations make it increasingly important to keep good commodity records. In this session, discover how to collect data on your value chain in an automated way to analyze risks and comply with legislation such as the CSRD, CSDDD, CRMA and ESPR. With Teresa Oberhauser (Circularise).

Product data as strategic capital
This workshop introduces you to the strategic potential of product data and teaches you how to use it to future-proof your business. You will discover how to collect and structure data in a Land and Product Passport - an overview in which all relevant product information is transparently and traceably recorded. With Ingeborg Gort (Circonnect) & VDL.

Unlocking the Urban Mine
For the foreseeable future, solar panels will constitute the largest e-waste stream in the Netherlands. The solar PV product team is working on a system that provides real-time insight into where solar panels are installed, what types and capacities are present, what condition they are in, and when they will become available from the urban mine. This will allow companies and policy makers to better anticipate the amount of materials that can be reused or recycled. With Robin Quax (TKI Urban Energy).

16:30 - 17:30 | Networking drinks

End the day with drinks and meet other professionals in the network.
