Circular design and production

Design and produce with them aim of long term value retention of products and assets

Design and production of products and assets that enable circularity through eg (i) increased resource efficiency, durability, functionality, modularity, upgradability, easy disassembly and repair; (ii) use of materials that are reusable, recyclable or compostable

Example: a smartphone that is modularly designed so that parts such as the camera and battery can easily be replaced if necessary

Development and deployment of process technologies that enable circularity

Example: the 3D printing of spare parts that enables the repair of products

Development and sustainable production of new materials (including bio-based materials) that are reusable, recyclable or compostable

Example: the development of compostable materials for useful applications, e.g. tree protection against rabbit raiding or clamping devices in agriculture and horticulture

Substitution or substantial reduction of substances of concern in materials, products and assets to enable circularity

Example: replacing binders in composite materials with components that do not contain volatile organic compounds

Substitution of virgin materials with secondary raw materials and by-products

Example: bricks made out of residual products from the steel industry (steel slag) instead of concrete and cement-based bricks

Circular (optimal) use

Support better usage and supporting service

Reuse, repair, refurbishing, repurposing and remanufacturing of end-of-life or redundant products, movable assets and their components that would otherwise be discarded

Example: repair cafes where electrical appliances are repaired

Refurbishment and repurposing of end-of-life design or redundant immovable assets (buildings/infrastructure/facilities)

Example: repurposing solar panels as a charging point for e-scooters

Product-as-a-service, reuse and sharing models based on, inter alia, leasing, pay-per-use, subscription or deposit return schemes, that enables circularity

Example: a clothing library for party wear

Rehabilitation of degraded land to return to useful state and remediation of abandoned or underutilised brownfield sites in preparation for redevelopment

Example: redevelopment of mining sites

Circular value retention

Capture value after user life

Separate collection and reverse logistics of wastes as well as redundant products, parts and materials enabling circular value retention and recovery strategies

Example: setting up the selective collection of flat glass for demolition works, with the aim of recycling it

Recovery of materials from waste in preparation for value retention and recovery strategies (excluding feedstock)

Example: automatic sorting of collected clothing for reuse or recycling, based on condition and composition

Recovery and valorisation of biomass waste and residues as food, feed, nutrients, fertilizers, biobased materials or chemical feedstock

Example: the manufacture of edible cutlery from brewing grains, residues from the beer brewing process

Reuse/recycling or wastewater

Example: purifying waste water from own production process

Circular support

Management support

Development/deployment of tools, applications, and services enabling circularity

Example: consultancy for circular starters.
