Metal recycling and low-emission raw material processing
9 September 2026 • 14:30
-16:00 • Lower Hall
Thematic scope
The energy transition is increasing the importance of metal recycling and low-emission processing technologies. Recycling is becoming a strategic source of raw materials for the battery industry, the energy sector and the modern economy. Investment in the modernisation of smelters and the development of the circular economy in Poland and Europe is also playing an increasingly important role.
Main themes:
- Recycling of strategic and critical metals
- Circular economy
- Low-emission metallurgical technologies
- Energy efficiency in processing
- Investment in new installations and smelter modernisation
Key questions:
- Can recycling become a strategic source of raw materials for Europe?
- How can low-emission steelmaking, metallurgy and processing be developed in Poland?
- What investments will be key to the modernisation of the sector?
- How can the resilience of European metal supply chains be strengthened?
