PLATE Conference 2025

Welcome to the 6th international PLATE conference (Product Lifetimes and the Environment). PLATE has been running since 2015 and has successfully been able to establish a solid network of researchers around its core theme. The topic has come to the forefront of current (political, scientific & societal) debates due to its interconnectedness with a number of recent prominent movements, such as the circular economy, eco-design and collaborative consumption.

The 2025 conference will be organized by Aalborg University, and we look forward to hosting you at the university, which is located right by the waterfront in the heart of Aalborg, Denmark.
