On January 15th and 16th, the IDENER team, led by Álvaro Ojeda Roldán as Project Coordinator, proudly hosted the Kick-Off Meeting for the DATA4CIRC project in Seville, officially marking the beginning of an exciting four-year journey. As the coordination team, we are honoured to lead this innovative initiative to transform the manufacturing sector through sustainability and cutting-edge technology. After the first day of the meeting, the partners had the opportunity to enjoy a visit through the old city centre of Sevilla.

DATA4CIRC will focus on three high-impact sectors: plastics, electronics, and the automotive industry to establish a framework utilising Digital Product Passports, Digital Twins, and AI-assisted Life-Cycle Assessments to enhance the traceability of recycled materials and predict environmental impacts. In all of this, we will take a human-centred approach, building hashtag#skills and promoting the creation of jobs in Europe.
