Digital Circularity
& Closed Loops
Climate change, resource scarcity, rising energy demand: high-performance environmental technologies are the key – and Austria is delivering. Whilst others are still debating strategies, Austrian environmental technology companies – champions of the ‘red-white-red’ brand – are implementing practical solutions on a global scale. The range extends from high-tech battery recycling, AI-assisted sorting and innovative screening technologies to the conversion of organic waste into biogas and biomethane, as well as shredding and exhaust air technologies.

We present the Circularity Champions 2026
The world is eagerly watching the Men’s Football World Cup. But the true world champions have long since been decided: the ‘Circularity Champions’ from Green Tech Valley. These teams have long been competing in the Champions League of the circular economy – with strong moves, a clear drive to attack and solutions that are making an impact worldwide. We visited some of these fantastic companies, which play in the top league in Europe and around the world. You can see here in the training videos how they top the league table, which star strikers they have in their line-up, and where they score every penalty.
We would like to say thank you to the teams at Binder+Co., Komptech, Botres Global, BT Systems, SAMsoric, SLOC, BLUELINE, Lindner Recyclingtech and IFE!
