Imagine every product had a digital birth certificate and a diary that recorded everywhere it went and what it was made of. This system lets companies track materials like plastic or electronics as they move from being a product to becoming waste and then back into a new product. It's like a GPS and a recipe book combined for the entire life of a material.
Companies struggle to track raw materials as they move through supply chains, making it hard to reuse waste or certify recycled content. This lack of visibility prevents the shift to a circular economy and increases reliance on scarce resources.
A Circular and Resilient Information System (CRIS) featuring cognitive digital twins, a unified data model based on ISO 81346, and a sustainability balanced scorecard for KPI tracking.
If you are a recycler dealing with complex electronic waste — this project developed a Circular and Resilient Information System that enables end-to-end traceability of secondary raw materials to improve recovery rates.
If you are a manufacturer dealing with expensive composite scrap — this project developed cognitive digital twins that monitor material use and certify recycled content for new parts.
If you are a food processor dealing with organic by-products — this project developed a data lake and analytics system to turn waste into usable raw materials for other industries.
Based on available project data, specific pricing or commercial costs are not mentioned; the project was funded by a EUR 7,652,750 EU contribution.
Yes, the system is being piloted across three different circular supply chains (CFRP, WEEE, and Citrus) to demonstrate operational improvement and waste reduction.
Based on available project data, specific IP and licensing terms are not detailed, though it involves a consortium of 22 partners including 15 industry players.
It uses an Information Modelling Framework based on ISO 81346 and IDSA-compliant communication to make data collection easier and interoperable without needing specialized staff.
The project focuses on the Digital Product Passport and material certification, which helps companies meet green transition and circular economy requirements.
The project is heavily industry-driven with 15 out of 22 partners coming from the private sector (68% industry ratio), including 8 SMEs. This high concentration of commercial entities across 9 countries suggests the results are designed for immediate market application rather than purely academic research.
