Important results from the project
The project largely achieved its original goals. Sustainability methodologies were successfully developed, tools were delivered as planned at process, factory, supply chain, and product levels. The project also revealed the need for integrated data modelling and traceability across these levels as a key enabler for future implementation.
Expected long term effects
The project is expected to generate long-term impacts by enabling more data-driven, efficient and reliable circular value flows. Over time, the results may enhance the competitiveness of Swedish industry through increased circularity, reduced environmental impact, and stronger collaboration across the industrial ecosystem. The project also establishes a platform for further research and innovation in digital environmental performance management and circular business models.
Approach and implementation
The project was executed through multiple work packages covering product, supply chain, factory, and process levels. The project followed a structured plan built around parallel industrial case studies, regular coordination meetings, and cross-WP synthesis activities. A final cross-WP analysis consolidated the results and identified essential interdependencies and future development needs.
