Objective

The proposed structured life-long education, focusing on the use of secondary resources in metallurgical processes as well as providing the latest knowledge to the participants so far not available will directly result in several advantages for the field.

The solution (technology)

This course will result in increased cooperation between industry institute and academy as well as between different research organizations and between industries from different sectors; enlarged engineering capacity by skilled personnel in terms of T-shaped competences with broad knowledge on secondary material properties and their function in thermal processes but thorough understanding of the process in which the participant are professionally working, and sharing of sectorial and cross-sectorial experience and exchanging knowledge on residue and recycling issues speeding up learning and implementation. These impacts will contribute to improved resource efficiency by enabling new options for recovery and recycling and extracting value out of residue stocks; overcoming barriers for circular material use as e.g. technical, legislations and handling costs; sustainable production by improved industrial competitiveness as a result of improved material efficiency, decreased need for landfill, knowledge contributing to increased flexibility in the selection of alternative raw materials and design of new processes; social impact by securing job opportunities in industry, and positive environmental impact through reduced need for landfill and knowledge enabling environmental friendly recycling for improved material and energy efficiency.
