Next steps!

• Testing the framework – via interviews/workshops with companies

developing CE transitions

• Iterating framework to improve and apply to support

• Building workshops to develop tools to support collaborative design and

experimentation of CE challenges

ECOBULK

“Circ€uit” – Circular European Economy

Innovative Training Network” – is a

Marie- Sklodowska-Curie Innovative

Training Network within the Horizon 2020

Programme of the European

Commission. In a consortium of seven

universities and 15 PhD positions,

research will look at the circular economy

from different perspectives including

business modelling, reverse logistics,

consumer behaviour, sustainable design,

the role of technology, and

environmental and economic

assessments via input-output analysis

and LCA.

The first European remanufacturing

Network (ERN) supports existing

remanufacturers with improving their

operations and drives new companies to

take on the challenge. It also has the

ambition to improve the competitiveness

of manufacturers and raise awareness

on remanufacturing. The consortium

counts 8 partners from 6 EU member

states. Two-year long project.

Resource Conservatie Manufacturing

(ResCoM) is a European Commission

co-funded project running until

November 2017.

The aim is to support designers and

manufacturers capturign value by closing

the loop. Twelve organisations from

research, industry and technology

collaborate in this project. A wide range

of knowledge partners and OEMs

(Original Equipment Manufactures) have

set up pilots for each OEM in which the

opportunities and challenges of

introducing multiple life cycles are

explored.

Circular Process for Eco-Designed Bulky

Products and Internal Car Parts

(ECOBULK) aims at contributing to

closing the loop of composite products in

the automotive, furniture and building

sectors by promoting greater re-use,

upgrade, refurbishment and recycle of

products, parts, and materials.It focuses

on large scale demonstration activities in

7 countries and more than 15

demonstrators to address the key

components of the circular economy

solutions.
