Tools to be your own

Let's talk

We offer you

Our project introduces essential tools for evaluating the circular economy eligibility.

The Idea

Comprehensive analysis of the types of resources, processes, and technologies employed.

An essential component of the circular economy is reducing the use of raw materials, whether it's processing iron ore into steel or converting fossil hydrocarbons into plastics. In addition to the economical, efficient, and sustainable use of energy and materials and extending the lifespan of products, the circular economy views waste as a resource. By 'thinking in life cycles' resource consumption and emissions into the environment can be reduced.
The durability of products depends largely on their manufacturing, use and recycling processes. Linear methods such as single use and disposal have a detrimental effect on the environment. Circular design, recycled or bio-based materials and recycling according to the waste hierarchy significantly reduce this impact.
Efficient use of materials, low energy consumption and maximum levels of reusability are crucial. Suitable technologies can ensure access to high-quality, bio-based and circular resources.

WHY USE TOOLS

Our tools empower users to make informed decisions

Identifying what's circular and green and what's not.
No single raw material, product or technology offers a universal solution to global challenges. Each has both sustainable and harmful properties. Our tools enable a comprehensive assessment of these factors and provide a clear estimate of the environmental costs and benefits.

We believe that individuals can help change the world. Our mission is to provide circular economy tools that empower and sensitize people to make the best use of resources, reuse and reduce waste. By integrating these principles into everyday life - from purchasing decisions to policy, production and investment - we make sustainability the norm.

Description

Methods & Measures

Results

The PA tool is a quick pre-assessment method that can be used to determine whether an activity can be classified as circular according to the basic frameworks and principles of the circular economy. This includes, for example, the European Commission's categorization system for the circular economy and the 9R framework.

The PA Tool contains a database with benchmark values (e.g. kgCO2eq./kg, kWh/kg, recycled wt.%/kg per product) for common products that are manufactured and consumed and represent comparative values as general sustainability indicators.

HOW IT LOOKS

By working with us directly, we offer you:

We provide tailored consulting to ensure compliance with current and future circular economy regulations. We assist in implementing and optimizing circular economy strategies to achieve and exceed ecological, social, and economic goals.

We develop technical designs, models, research studies, data analyses, audits, calculations, tools, simulations, and reports for current or upcoming project phases, including:

  1. Development, optimization, improvement, scaling, and
  2. Commercialization.

With our expertise in green and circular solutions across various economic sectors – from buildings to biorefineries, recycling plants, and manufacturing – we offer valuable know-how in the preparation of:

  1. Techno-economic analyses (TEA)
  2. Life cycle assessments (LCA)
