This is us, the #SolmateHorizonEurope crew, sharing a joyful snapshot of our kick-off meeting, held yesterday in Brussels, right in the heart of the European institutions quarter. In just one day, we successfully presented each work package, emphasising the upcoming actions and outlining much needed collaborations for the next years we'll be working together, and possibly beyond. The hard work begins now, and we will ensure we provide information about the outcomes of the project.   ℹ And perhaps before getting back to our activities, let's explain what the SOLMATE acronym stands for ➡ "Reuse of SOLar PV Panels and EV Batteries for low-cost decentralised energy solutions and effective Recycling of critical raw MATErials from their end-of-life products".

It’s well known that when designing an efficient supply chain transition can save costs and even time. At Amaneos, we know it can also help save our planet – by reducing CO2 emissions. Our supply chain transition creates a win-win, allowing our customers to not only comply with their local regulations, but also achieve their internal Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) targets.    We use three central tenets to ensure our supply chain is as low-emission as possible: - By optimizing the internal production process and logistics companies can cut costs and significantly reduce their emissions. - Innovative packaging concepts allow us to keep internal transportation at a minimum. - In production, we are increasingly focusing on the use of renewable energies to be able to offer our products in an even more climate-friendly way.    With these concepts at our core, we and our partners can effortlessly navigate a more efficient workstream and redefine the template for an efficient supply chain. #SupplyChainEfficiency #SustainableLogistics #RenewableEnergySupplyChain #ESGGoals #ClimateFriendlyProduction
