The BIORECOVER Circular Value Proposition Design Workshop took place virtually on the 21st and 23rd of June.
BIORECOVER partners came together to participate in a two-day Circular Value Proposition Design Workshop originally designed by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation and led by LGI.
The objective of the workshop was to bring a circular economy perspective to the BIORECOVER project and inspire partners to imagine circular opportunities that could add value to project activities and outcomes.
Partners were divided into the following groups based on the project’s main focus points : Platinum Group Metals, Magnesium and Magnesium Oxide, and Rare Earth Elements and Bauxite Residue. Discover their Value Propositions below.
