Circular value creation
Circular value creation moves away from the linear model and aims to preserve the value of materials, components and products in a way that makes economic and environmental sense. Reuse, repair, refurbishment, remanufacturing and recycling can help keep recoverable materials and components in the economy and create value again.
The approach is systemic: value-creation partners, resources, business models, technologies and people are considered together. The call required an approach that went beyond technology development alone. Projects focusing exclusively on recycling were not eligible.
Key questions
This systemic view is the starting point for CircularGlowUp. For the funded projects, the same basic questions come up again and again:
1
How can new approaches enable the transition from linear to circular value creation on an industrial scale?
2
How can materials, components and products retain their value and remain traceable across systems?
3
How do technologies, data, business models, organisations and people interact?
