Data

• is widely seen as an enabler for future circular economy
• is needed to design sustainable solutions and value chains, from raw materials management to end users in a circular economy
• can be used to extend the lifetime of products, to replace tangible products with services, to create a resource-based business, and to boost the reuse of materials.

Circular Design Network Project will share insights to data-enabled circular battery, textile and agri-food value chains.

This event live at Korjaamo, Helsinki (FI), and online on 10 November 2022, from 12:00 to 15:30 (EET) will be an occasion to learn about the project results and to network with the key stakeholders on data for circularity.
