On 1 September 2026, the DEPMAT consortium met at SKF in Houten to review progress and, above all, to look at how the different research developments can now be brought together. The meeting included updates on the programme’s Impact Pathway, a dedicated discussion on the demonstrator, and presentations from researchers.
The discussions returned to the fundamental challenge for which DEPMAT was established: how can the steel industry use substantially more recycled material without losing control over product quality? Do you want to know what was discussed during the meeting and what progress DEPMAT made? Check out the full article on the DEPMAT website.
