SUMMARY:Circular business opportunities workshop: case PUMA & urban mining
DESCRIPTION:Ethica\, VTT (Technical Research Centre of Finland) and AMS Institute (Advanced Metropolitan Solutions\, Amsterdam) will organise a workshop focusing on urban mining on 29 March in Amsterdam\, Netherlands. \nThe aim of the workshop is to explore circular business opportunities for urban mining based on the recent Prospecting the Urban Mines of Amsterdam (PUMA) findings. \nSteel in high-rise buildings\, copper in cables\, aluminum in window frames… With their wealth of metals\, cities are urban mines. With the concentrations of traditional mines going down\, and the amount of energy used to get the metals out going up\, 7-8% of all energy consumption worldwide is now used to produce metals. So isn’t it time to ask ourselves: what will it take to mine the city? And is it worthwhile? \nThe PUMA project was two-fold. The first result is a geological map of the built environment\, giving an overview of the stored resources\, their quality and ‘time to mine’. The second is an outline for an urban mining plan\, indicating the steps needed to actually exploit the urban mine. \nOn 29 March\, through various assignments and discussions\, we will investigate with a group of stakeholders and experts what type of ecosystem and business models would make urban mining financially viable and aptly functioning system. \nThe workshop is free of charge and open for all\, who have the interest to develop a circular ecosystem around urban mining and who can provide an expert view on the topic. The workshop will gather participants from private\, public and university sectors. \nIf you are interested in attending the workshop\, please contact:  \nAnne Raudaskoski anne.raudaskoski@ethica.fi  tel. +358 503410 881 \nThe workshop is part of the project called Circular Economy Business Ecosystem Think Tank funded by the EIT RawMaterials programme. The workshop will also give input for methodology development\, which aims to identify circular business opportunities for novel technologies and solutions\, thus lowering the barrier to move towards a closed-loop system and making it a compelling option for businesses and society. \nFor more information:\nAnne Raudaskoski\, Ethica anne.raudaskoski@ethica.fi tel. +358 503410881\nVirpi Heybroek\, AMS Institute virpi.heybroek@ams-institute.org tel. +316 33828273 \nAlso\, please check the official website of the event.
