Supporting manufacturing companies’ sustainability journey through circularity and eco-efficiency
The VIVACE project will capitalize on industrial digitalization and combine multiple perspectives (from whole value chains and product life cycles, to supply chains and process levels) to create a toolkit with scalable data-supported solutions for circular and eco-efficient production.
The objectives are to:
Vinnova dnr: 2023-00868
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.
2019 – 2022
Today, the industry often uses energy- and time-consuming autoclave processes for the manufacture of composites with high quality requirements, towards for example the aerospace industry.
