Metals – A highly circular industry
Industry and policy leaders discuss the opportunities and constraints of creating a more circular metals system navigating rising demand and resource scarcity.
Welcome to a new series. Produced in cooperation with Circular Valley, these three episodes capture the highlights of the Circular Valley Forum 2025.
Senior government representatives, executives from metals and chemicals, and researchers share their perspectives on European industrial transformation, the challenge of building scale, and what it takes to make circularity the default.
Circular Valley is a European hub for circular economy innovation, bringing together international startups, industry, science and policymakers to accelerate the shift toward circular value creation. It is based in Wuppertal, one of Europe’s most dynamic economic regions, and supports cross-sector collaboration to close material loops, advance enabling policy and increase public understanding of circular solutions.
