The transition to circular production models is an opportunity to strengthen industrial resilience, boost technological innovation and ensure a more responsible use of resources. In this current context, many industries are exploring how to leverage renewable and circular carbon sources to move towards more competitive systems aligned with global climate goals.

Today, the challenge is no longer to transform carbon by removing it, but to reconfigure its origin and cycle. Sectors such as chemicals, plastics or advanced materials need structural carbon to produce; they are therefore driving an evolution towards renewable raw materials, captured CO₂ and advanced circularity strategies.

This webinar, organized by the Repsol Foundation Energy Transition Classroom at the UPV/EHU, will explore what solutions are already working in the industry, what opportunities are opening up, and how circularity is redefining the way we produce.
