Building on the topics addressed at the last Zero Waste Railways workshops, on 20 November 2024, UIC will invite experts to the UIC headquarters to discuss the best circular economy practices to implement with rail in order to contribute to the achievement of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions.
Experts from the railway industry and other sectors will be invited to discuss the following topics:
- Strategies for removing Scope 3 emissions from railway equipment and material design
- Action that railways can take upstream and downstream in their value chain to reduce GHG emissions
- How to bring about raw material traceability, and the data required for this process
- The role of procurement in efforts to reduce emissions
- The impact of cooperation in reaching emission reduction goals
Additionally, experts will present new key performance indicators (KPIs) for measuring circularity and share success stories about retaining embedded carbon through the use of innovative circular materials in rail infrastructure.
Participants will have ample opportunity to interact, network, and exchange ideas with the speakers.
The draft programme will be available soon.
