Imagine every piece of furniture had a digital birth certificate that tells you exactly how to fix, reuse, or recycle it. Instead of throwing away a broken chair, you'd have a digital guide to refurbish it. This project builds the tools to make that happen across the entire supply chain.
Furniture companies struggle to track product lifespans and prove sustainability claims. This leads to wasted materials and difficulty complying with emerging EU circular economy laws.
A Furniture Assessment System (FAS) featuring eco-scoring, Digital Product Passports, and a circular business model roadmap.
If you are a furniture brand dealing with strict new EU waste regulations — this project developed a Digital Product Passport (DPP) that tracks materials and simplifies recycling. This allows you to prove sustainability and meet legal requirements easily.
If you are a logistics company dealing with inefficient product returns and refurbishing flows — this project developed a track-and-trace system for furniture. This helps you optimize the collection and movement of used goods for remanufacturing.
If you are a retailer dealing with customers who want eco-friendly proof before buying — this project developed an eco-scoring system. This gives you a clear, data-backed way to show the environmental impact of your products to the buyer.
Based on available project data, the project uses Life Cycle Costing (LCC) to assess economic viability, though specific price reductions are not listed.
The project is designed for industrial application and will be validated through 3 use cases across different European value chains.
Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not provided, but the project involves 23 partners including 9 industry members.
Yes, it specifically focuses on Digital Product Passports (DPP) and aligning with new regulations and standardization in the furniture sector.
The project runs from 2025-01-01 to 2027-12-31.
The consortium is highly market-oriented with a 39% industry ratio, comprising 9 industrial partners and 8 SMEs. With 23 partners across 10 countries, the project has a strong European footprint, balancing academic research (3 universities, 6 research centers) with practical commercial application.
