The EU funded project AshCycle; "Integration of Underutilized Ashes into Material Cycles by Industry-urban Symbiosis," was initiated with the aim to develop new utilization possibilities for the ashes from incineration plants. One focus of the project is on the recovery of valuable elemental resources from ashes.

At this webinar we disseminated and discussed our first results with external experts and stakeholders. Warm thanks to everyone who joined us!
