Beyond Waste 2027 – Recycling of materials from atoms to systems
Save the date: Registration will open on 1 September 2026 on the dedicated platform.
The Beyond Waste 2027 international scientific conference will be held in Lille (France) from 16 to 18 March 2027.
Recycling is a multidisciplinary field of research involving chemistry, physics, digital technology, law, economics, social sciences, and more. To contribute to this important societal challenge and propose relevant solutions, it is necessary to adopt a holistic approach, from materials to systems, from atoms to actions.
Beyond Waste 2027 will bring together experts from all around the World in order to meet and discuss research themes related to recycling, eco-design, and the circularity of materials. The event will feature parallel sessions dealing in detail with topics related to materials (plastics, composites, strategic metals, textiles, and papers-cardboards), as well as sectorial issues (WEEE, new energy technologies – photovoltaics, wind mills, hydrogen devices -, batteries, and household waste) and interdisciplinary matters, with the inputs of digital and social sciences. Plenary sessions will also cover common and broader topics, including political, economical, and environmental questions.
Supported by the National research program PEPR “Recycling, Recyclability, and Reuse of Materials,” which brings together more than 300 scientists from nearly 100 laboratories across the country, Beyond Waste aims to unite an international research network on these issues. During the three days of the conference, the goal is to bring together the scientific community from around the world and showcase the diversity and richness of research on recycling and the circular economy of materials, which cannot be resolved through a single scientific discipline.
