DATA4CIRC is developing an innovative data-sharing framework to help European manufacturing prepare for a more sustainable future. Our mission is to improve access to the information factories need to efficiently and safely recover, recycle, and reuse materials, and move towards a circular economy.
The European Union has set a target of doubling circular material use by 2030. A major barrier to increasing circularity is a lack of data about the materials contained in manufactured goods. Even when data does exist, manufacturers might be unable to access it, for example, due to restrictions protecting Intellectual Property. Additionally, where potential solutions to this challenge do exist, a lack of standardisation / interoperability and a deficit in the necessary training for end-users has prevented wide-spread adoption.
Our solutions are being tested in three key manufacturing sectors: plastics, electronics, and automotive, demonstrating their effectiveness in creating sustainable and circular value chains.
