The ARREAU Working Group is focused on phosphorus recovery from wastewater. The overall objective is to list best practices and technologies for phosphorus recovery from municipal and industrial wastewater. Value chains involve transferring phosphorus from wastewater treatment plants to fertilizer producers and users. Over 20 technologies exist but few are widely used as best practices. Assessment of technologies considers life cycle assessment, costs, market potential, and regional applicability. There is no single best solution and the suitable approach depends on local regulations and infrastructure.

Solvent development for biogas scrubbers for CO2 removal - Marco LindersEBAconference
TNO developed a new solvent for removing CO2 from biogas through a multi-step process including molecular modelling, synthesis, equilibrium and stability testing, and miniplant tests. Miniplant tests of the new solvent showed it captured CO2 19% more efficiently than the benchmark solvent while demonstrating good stability and handling. The solvent was then successfully demonstrated at a 6000 m3/day commercial biogas facility in Europe.
Steven Broome discusses navigating the "valley of death" for innovation between research and commercialization. The UK performs well in European research programs but spends less than competitors on R&D. Catapult centers in the UK like the Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) help reduce risks for companies in scaling innovations from the lab. CPI provides facilities, expertise and funding to demonstrate and refine novel technologies in anaerobic digestion and biorefining before large commercial investments. Example projects at CPI include developing higher value products from biogas and harvesting seaweed as a sustainable feedstock for anaerobic digestion.

This document discusses hydroelectric power potential in Europe. It summarizes that a study by the European Environment Agency (EEA) found the technical potential for hydroelectric power is restricted, but the environmental potential is even more limited after accounting for environmental factors. The study used a database called ECRINS to analyze hydrological data and potential dam sites in catchments. It made assumptions about factors like water flow rates, plant efficiencies, costs, and environmental impacts to estimate potential. While the technical potential is limited, the document suggests focusing on innovating business models to adapt. It also notes that environmental protections like Article 4.7 must be maintained.

Life cycle assessment and simulation enablers of sustainable product designeSAT Publishing House
The document summarizes a case study on using life cycle assessment (LCA) and Monte Carlo simulation to evaluate the sustainability and reuse potential of components in a rotary switch. LCA was used to calculate the environmental costs and economic benefits of remanufacturing individual components. Simulation was then used to model uncertainties and determine the technical feasibility of reuse for each component. The results showed that over half of components had over 90% potential for reuse, while a few others ranged from 80-90% and 50-80% potential based on the simulation analysis. Overall, the study demonstrated how LCA and simulation can be applied together to support sustainable product design and end-of-life component reuse decisions.
The document discusses the environmental impacts of buildings and HVAC systems over their full life cycles. It states that carbon dioxide accounts for about one third of all greenhouse gases produced in the UK, with 50% of CO2 emissions related to building energy use. HVAC systems alone account for 40-60% of energy use in commercial and residential buildings in the US. The document also discusses challenges and approaches to conducting life cycle assessments (LCAs) of buildings, which are complex due to their long lifespan and localized impacts.

Sustainable Design of Alternator Pulley for LocomotivesIRJET Journal
This document discusses a study that analyzed the sustainable design of an alternator pulley for locomotives using SolidWorks sustainability tools. The study conducted a life cycle assessment of the alternator pulley design made of gray cast iron. The sustainability tools measured the environmental impacts across the product's life cycle, including material processing, manufacturing, transportation, use, and end of life. The results found that manufacturing using sand casting was the largest contributor to carbon footprint and air acidification, while material processing consumed most of the total energy. Product end of life had the greatest impact on water eutrophication. The study concluded that sustainability assessments are important for determining a product design's environmental impacts throughout its entire lifecycle.

Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.
Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!

6. • EuCIA (www.eucia.eu) has developed the Eco Calculator in cooperation with EY Cleantech and Sustainability Services and Biinc.
• The Eco Calculator allows composite manufacturers to calculate the environmental impact of their products, without the
need of a deep know-how of Life Cycle Assessment processes.
• The tool generates an Eco Report, a Summary Report and SimaPro 8.2 Export
– Using a transparent and uniform sector methodology for processes following ISO 14.040/044
– Based on Industry generated, peer reviewed, quality data as well as material data from eco inventories* i.e. EU average energy mix is used
– Conversion processes based on industrial averages as well possibility to modify/own input
– Output can be used as input: manufacturing of product input for full life cycle calculations
– The Eco Factsheet is based on EU industry average figures for the conversion processes. Third party verification on the processes has not been
performed and this is therefore not an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD).
• The Eco and Summary reports are to be shared with clients and other stakeholders, to fulfill the need for accurate and
specific environmental information.
• The tool is web-based, easy to use
• The tool is free http://ecocalculator.eucia.eu/
• The tool is launched http://bit.ly/29pRJDn

Editor's Notes
It has to be realized that all this represents an opportunity for FGR composites if we use the information well.
Fiber glass reinforced composites are enabling materials offering a lot of different advantages to the world.
Over the last decades new aspects come into play related to conservation of resources, consumer safety
In addition as a reaction to a number of societal drivers increased emphasis is on energy and CO2 reduction
This affects the composite industry in potentially a very favorable way
This is a way to look at the life of fiber glass
Manufacturing, service life, end of life
Just a very small part will be re-used in a melter, the remainder has to undergo some form of re-cycling as we will get into later
