As a part of the dissemination activities within the Novapack project, on May 21, 2025, Professor Giulio Malucelli <\/strong>(Politecnico di Torino) gave a seminar focused on potential end-of-life strategies for polymeric materials. His presentation addressed the environmental challenges associated with conventional disposal methods, while highlighting the opportunities offered by mechanical and chemical recycling, industrial composting, and emerging approaches involving controlled biodegradation. The seminar provided a critical overview of current technologies and future perspectives, with particular emphasis on the integration of innovative solutions within the framework of circular economy principles and materials sustainability.<\/p>\n<\/div>
