The Workgroup Sediments in Circular Economy organizes a meeting, which will take place on 6 October 2025 in Madrid from 09:00 to 17:00. This event takes place on the pre-conference day of the SedNet Conference 2025.

This full-day workshop offers a unique opportunity to discuss how sediments can be revalued and reused as part of sustainable and circular solutions. Topics will include:

• Beneficial use options for dredged sediments.
• Sediments in the Water Framework Directive.
• Microplastics in relation to sediments.
• An open floor session for project pitches, ideas, and discussion.

We will also discuss a proposed name change of the workgroup to better reflect our broader focus: from circularity alone to the beneficial use of sediments in a wider societal and environmental context.

Registration is required.
