Mechanical engineering is a crucial factor for a successful transition to the circular economy. In fact, mechanical engineering is involved in at least three ways: Machines not only manufacture products, but are also needed for their reuse, repair, and recycling, and at the same time the machines themselves must be designed in such a way that they can be repaired, refurbished, and reused to achieve a service life of decades.

The virtual circular economy travel of the Green Economy Network NRW has set out to find best practice examples of small and medium-sized companies that are taking a circular approach to mechanical engineering. On February 18, we will introduce these companies working with circular economy concepts in mechanical engineering in this online event and present best practice examples from Barcelona to Bottrop.
