The Norblin factory has once again become a meeting place for science, business and technology leaders at the Deep Tech CEE Summit & Challenge 2025. The event created a space to talk about how disruptive solutions are shaping the economy, industry and environment, and deep tech technologies are accelerating the transformation towards circularity.
One of the key points of the event was the panel “Closing the Loop: Deep Tech Driving the Circular Economy Revolution”, held on the Science to Business stage. Filip Gabryelewicz, Chief Business Development Officer at Wastes Service Group, spoke, stressing the importance of deep tech for the development of the circular economy and building a competitive market for secondary raw materials in Europe.
In his speech, Filip Gabryelewicz pointed out that digital tools are becoming an increasingly important element of the recycling ecosystem. Of particular importance is the battery passport, which will come into force from 2027 under Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 on batteries and spent batteries. It will introduce a new standard of transparency and traceability, allowing full tracking of the battery life cycle and verification of parameters affecting the quality of recovered raw materials.
The new regulations will have a direct impact on the efficiency of recycling processes and will also improve the competitiveness of recycling compared to primary raw materials, which, despite increasing environmental requirements, often remain cheaper on the European market.
In the course of the discussion, it was also emphasized that monitoring production and recovery processes at multiple stages already makes it possible to achieve high quality recycled materials. Deep tech solutions such as advanced data analytics, automation and AI-based technologies could become a key catalyst for the transformation towards a circular economy in the coming years.
Their use increases the efficiency, stability and predictability of processes, which translates into the development of the European market for secondary raw materials and the construction of more resilient supply chains.
At the end of the panel, Filip Gabryelewicz pointed out that the law should not only reflect the directions of technology development, but also strengthen them. Creating a predictable, pro-investment regulatory environment is the foundation for the development of innovations that realistically support the transformation of industry and the economy.
In addition to a representative of WSG, the following also participated in the panel:
Thank you for inspiring conversations and openness to cooperation in the field of innovation and sustainable technologies.
