The NWE - REGENERATIS project partners are pleased to invite you to the site visit of the :metabolon Competence Centre for Resource Management and Circular Economy in Lindlar (Germany), folllowed by a workshop about circular economy of raw materials.

Don't miss the opportunity to take part in the guided tour of a modern ash and slag sorting plant and site visit of :metabolon in the morning. You will be guided through a modern ash and slag sorting plant combined with a site visit on the former Leppe landfill. Besides the technical aspects, the guided tour will lead you to a viewing platform with a 100 m long slide on top of the landfill. During the tour the conversion of Leppe landfill by the project :metabolon into a modern resource management centre, focusing on innovation, research and education in circular economy will be shown.

Then, during the workshop organised in the afternoon, you will have the opportunity to find out more about the best ways to revalorise past metallurgical sites and deposits (PMSD) through innovative circularity of raw materials.
