Title [sv]
Enabling REuse, REmanufacturing and REcycling Within INDustrial systems (REWIND)
Title [en]
Enabling REuse, REmanufacturing and REcycling Within INDustrial systems (REWIND)
Abstract [sv]
REWIND-projektet kombinerar principerna för lean production och ekoeffektivitet i tre industridrivna piloter vid Stena Recycling, Volvo AB och IKEA GreenTech. Målsättningen är att bi-behålla det värde som finns i produkter och material genom att cirkulera/sluta flödet ( återanvända, åter-producera, återvinna, etc.). Lärdomar från piloterna kommer att användas för att utveckla pedagogiska verktyg för ingenjörer och industriledare för att påskynda tillämpningen av bästa praxis för cirkularitet och hållbar produktion i industrin. Genom att tillämpa cirkularitetsbegreppet och principer i industriella processer kan den övergripande resurseffektiviteten förbättras. Detta leder till minskat beroende av naturresurser och strategiska material, och bidrar till att garantera framtida cirkulär-produktion av miljövänliga material, komponenter och produkter. Principerna för ekoeffektivitet och cirkularitet är komplicerade att implementera. En nyckel till konkret framgång är att piloterna utförs i tillämpade miljöer hos företag i samarbete med forskare och teknologileverantörer. Konsortiet kommer att utnyttja de akademiska och industriella partnernas kompetens för att tillämpa digital teknik, metoder, strategiska planeringsverktyg och materialforskning för att skapa möjligheter och visa på faktiska piloter med cirkularitet som ledstjärna.

Abstract [en]
To remain competitive on the global market, industry is continuously improving economic, social and environmental performance. The REWIND project seeks to take advantage of current industrial trends in digitalisation and sustainability. Capitalising on the expertise of the academic and industrial partners, the consortium will make use of digital technologies, assessment methods, strategic planning tools and materials research to realise opportunities towards a circular economy. The REWIND project combines the principles of lean production and eco-efficiency in three industry pilots at Stena Recycling, Volvo AB and IKEA GreenTech. The objective is to retain the value embedded in materials with circular strategies (reuse, remanufacture, recycle, repurpose, etc.). Lessons learnt from the pilots will be used to develop educational tools for engineers and industry leaders to accelerate the uptake of best practices for circularity and sustainable production. By applying circularity concepts and principles in industrial processes, the overall production systems’ resource efficiency can be improved. This leads to reduced dependency on natural resources and strategic materials, and helps to guarantee future production of environmentally-sound materials, components and products. The principles of eco-efficiency and circularity are complex to implement; piloting in close collaboration with diverse stakeholders is a key to success. The consortium will capitalise on the expertise of the academic and industrial partners to make use of digital technologies, assessment methods, strategic planning tools and materials research to realise opportunities towards a circular economy.

Abstract [en]

As the need for more responsible production and consumption grows quickly, so does the interest in the concepts of eco-efficiency and circularity. To make swift progress towards sustainability, solutions must be developed and deployed at scale. It is therefore critical to understand the challenges faced by industry to accelerate the uptake of best practices for circular and efficient production systems. This paper presents the emerging issues from three industrial pilots in an on-going collaborative project. We discuss and suggest further work around crucial questions such as: How to deploy circular solutions from lab to industrial scale? How can digitalization support efficient circular processes?.
