Circular Economy Innovation Network (CEIN) - Aluminium Consultation Roundtables

The UK aluminium sector and associated industries have a pivotal role in achieving net zero through a circular economy and,  as we look towards building global resilience and competitiveness, we must find ways of establishing UK manufacturing supply chains that produce products and services with a lower negative impact on our natural environment.

The purpose of this online session is to hear the voice of the aluminium community, to provide an opportunity to identify the barriers to progress, to highlight opportunities for positive change, and build a framework for an Circular Innovation Action Plan for Aluminium that could accelerate innovation for the realisation of Net Zero ambitions.

This online workshop will bring together business leaders,  innovators, academics, NGOs, and industrialists from across the value chain in order to scope actions and identify community challenges with possible solutions and interventions for positive change.
