AshCycle Final Conference 2026
AshCycle Final Conference
May 11–12 2026
Hotel Korpilampi
Espoo, Finland | hybrid
The AshCycle project warmly welcomes you to our Final Conference on 11th–12th May 2026 in Espoo, Finland! You can also follow the event online. This conference is a perfect opportunity to hear from both the academia and business views about challenges faced and lessons learned while developing resource recovery and new utilization possibilities for municipal solid waste, biomass, and sewage sludge ashes. The results are modelled using the Industry-Urban Symbiosis concept. In addition, we are expecting lively panel discussions and invited guest speakers, who will broaden our scope outside the project.
Check out the preliminary agenda below! More details coming up in January 2026.
