Research and development in the view of lightweight composite materials and global circular economy

In an era where our industries and economies are increasingly interconnected, and where environmental challenges demand our attention, the exploration of lightweight materials, composites, and the principles of a circular global economy are more vital than ever before. These concepts not only underpin the transformation of our manufacturing and production processes but also hold the key to a more sustainable, resource-efficient, and environmentally responsible future. Because of that we will be joined by a distinguished panels of experts, thought leaders, and change-makers who bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to this complex and ever-evolving subject. Our esteemed panelists are representatives from industry – what solution they propose? How to deal with academia? How to cooperate? What are the advantages and disadvantages?

Dr Tomasz Węsierski, director of the Implementation Center of Grupa Azoty S.A. responsible for the verification and implementation of research results on the market will talk about Science hidden in industry. The expert area includes, among others, organization management, business development, commercialization of new solutions, as well as a range of issues related to the broadly understood laboratory industry.

During this panel, there will be several talks presented by the representatives from Polish Cluster Composite Technologies:

Ariel Stępień, from RAE Sp. z o.o., who with passion translated theoretical knowledge into specific, practical solutions at RAE will talks about How to prepare your organization for the AI revolution. Data as a key role in digitalization of processes

Mariusz Iwanejko, from Blejkan S.A., a practitioner, associated with the water supply and sewage industry from the beginning of his professional career, who will introduce Trenchless renovation of water and sewage systems using resin impregnated fiberglass and felt linings and GRP pipe modules.

Because we should not forget about the global circular economy and recycling processes, we will have an opportunity to listen about Anmet’s research and solutions in the field of composite recycling represented by Andrzej Adamcio, CEO of ANMET company, dealing with metal recycling. Within a few years, they have gained an established position on the market both in Poland and in and in Germany. His company conducts numerous research and development works in cooperation with many universities from Poland.

Nowadays, we are more and more dealing with storage tanks. The main area of activity of AMARGO company, represented by Szczepan Gorbacz, is the production of plastic tanks and installations. The company has completed many highly complex projects, including: for the energy, chemical, pharmaceutical, petrochemical and food industries, the paint and varnish industry, at water treatment plants, waterworks and sewage treatment plants. Szczepan Gorbacz will talk about Advanced materials and innovative technological solutions for industrial storage tanks.
