Event Overview

The webinar titled From Waste to Power: Unlocking the Potential of Copper Recycling in the U.S. & Europe is set to take place on March 12, 2025, from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM EDT. This online event, organized by the World Resources Institute (WRI), aims to address the critical role of copper recycling in supporting renewable energy technologies and electric vehicles.

Copper is essential for the clean energy transition, with global demand expected to rise significantly by 2050. Currently, recycled copper accounts for about one-third of the global supply, and enhancing recycling efforts can reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. The webinar will feature a panel of experts from various sectors, including industry leaders, policymakers, and researchers, who will discuss strategies to mobilize investment and develop additional copper processing facilities in the U.S. and EU.

Participants will gain insights into the unique challenges faced in these regions, particularly regarding the processing capacities for low-grade copper. This event is a part of WRI's ongoing efforts to promote sustainable practices in copper recycling, fostering collaboration among stakeholders to advance circular economies.
