YouRban Festival Revolutionizes Plastic Reprocessing in Barcelona

A 10-day event focused on material demanufacturing and reprocessing will take place at the end of April in Barcelona. At the heart of the event will be a mobile plant housed on a truck, stationed in the city and open to everyone.

  • Experts will offer knowledge-sharing sessions and training opportunities.
  • Citizens will be invited to share their needs and expectations.
  • Artists will participate in artistic residencies, contributing creative solutions inspired by art and culture—going beyond mere functionality.
  • Urban Factories will join the initiative through a Cascade Funding mechanism to support the artistic residencies.

Together, these activities aim to co-create active urban ecosystems that support the circular economy in Europe.
