WOOL2LOOP Final Conference
The WOOL2LOOP project hosted the Final Conference on the 26th of October in Lisbon, Portugal & online! During the day, we heard from both researchers and industrial companies alike about tackling the challenges of mineral wool waste utilisation in low CO2 building materials. External speakers broadened our horizons beyond the project, and a multidisciplinary group of students brought their fresh perspectives to the panel discussion. You'll find the presentations and recording of the conference as well as the detailed agenda below.
