Exploring product life extension
在这项试点项目中,电子和家具中的一些最大的品牌已经合作,共同发现3D打印如何破坏它们的制作方式和使用备件。对于该公司的第二部分,本集团开辟了设计和3D印刷的全球知识库和经验。他们与IFIXIT合作,他们推出了“敢于修复”比赛,这让人们挑战了人们为日常产品发明的现实问题设计和设计备件。
一个圆形制造商市场区。
The BROEKLIN project is a 200.000 m² development that will be constructed on a brownfield on the northern periphery of Brussels. The site is enclosed by an international airport, railways and elevated highways. BROEKLIN will bring education, local production, consumption and circularity together in a makers district, hosted in big adaptable industrial halls. Makers will be able to manufacture items on-site, lowering waste and overproduction, all while contributing to a shared resource/waste loop from other neighbouring businesses. In the 55.000 m² retail space, visitors will be able to participate in the creation of products, interacting with producers on tailored specifications.
A circular economy for nappies and how to implement it locally
To enable a circular economy for nappies, members of this co.project looked at the feasibility of introducing compostable nappies in different local contexts. By replacing oil-based plastics with bio-based materials, and building an effective collection infrastructure, the used product can then compost and regenerate natural systems, eliminating waste.
用可重复使用和可堆肥购物袋促进有机废物收集。
This pilot project, run in Catalonia, looked to eliminate single-use plastic bags in an entire city by making compostable and reusable bags available instead. The project greatly enhanced the quantity and quality of compost, now suitable for organic agriculture.
垃圾,信任&Tracking: Creating a proof of concept for the mass balance approach.
In the 'Mass Balance' white paper published in 2019, network members explored how a mass balance method offers a workable set of rules to ensure the traceability of recycled feedstock into new products. Led by SAP and BASF, this pilot project now aims at testing a blockchain technology to enable the mass approach to be credible, and adopted at scale. Members of the project will be submitting products to be recycled according to the mass balance approach to validate the technology.
消费产品中的循环进步测量和激励。
The Project WearEver leads, Stuffstr and Arizona State University's Sustainability Consortium, believe that clothing provides its greatest value when it has superior emotional and physical durability.
使用服装嵌入式信息技术,与此类公司的目标是在服装使用中建立经验基线,以及用于促进衣物使用最大化的基线的行业接受的衡量手段。
Designing circular solutions for the take-away food industry.
This co.project is looking at demonstrating a circular model for single use foodservice ware in the hospitality sector. We will explore composting as a possible end of life option for food waste & foodservice ware. The first phase would be to pilot the model with one type of foodservice packaging (example, take-away boxes) before scaling it to multiple locations and items.
This project could be of interest to stakeholders along the value chain – resin suppliers, convertors, foodservice operators, waste management, recyclers, composters, data analysts. Members outside the Ellen MacArthur Foundation network are allowed to join this pilot. The group will pilot the programme in Europe first and hopes to replicate this in North America with interested parties.
Microsoft邀请网络重新致使并设计闭环包装解决方案,该解决方案消除了通常用于运输包装的单用塑料包装。他们正在寻找整个价值链中涉及散装产品的总价值链的有远见的合作伙伴,为单用塑料托盘保护制定实惠,可扩展和圆形的解决方案。
The Ellen MacArthur Foundation works to accelerate the transition to a circular economy. We develop and promote the idea of a circular economy, and work with business, academia, policymakers, and institutions to mobilise systems solutions at scale, globally.
