Roundtables with governmental organizations and industry regarding circular economy and product related legislation
With the contemporary sustainability challenges the world is facing, it is encouraging that circular economy is on the uprising and generates new type of products, services and business models. But with it arises also questions of how these new practices relates to regulation and legislation, which mainly follows the traditional linear business logic.
The project Roundtable for circular economy aims to identify challenges and opportunities regarding circularity and product related regulation and legislation, in order to facilitate circular economy in practice. Important in doing so, is the collaboration and knowledge sharing between authorities and industry. As this is a new practice, there are different interpretations of legislation and regulation. Therefore, in this project, two round tables are organized with authorities and industry in order to have a joint discussion on these issues. This is combined with an interview study with relevant actors.
One important goal of this project is to aid with guidance for a more circular and resource efficient society, as to avoid inaction and uncertainty on how to act circular and within the legal boundaries, now and in the future. Another important goal is to have a platform for discussions on circular economy, where authorities and industry can create a common understanding of challenges and opportunities of circular economy.

SCARCE II will develop a demonstrator to show how SMEs and associated value flows can increase efficiency, competitiveness, sustainability and internal collaboration through digitalisation. The goal is to show the value of a new digital solution. SCARCE focuses on two subcontractors in the value chain linked to Scania and Volvo. The demonstrator is a cloud-based solution that connects three test beds in the industry; Stena Industry Innovation Lab, Chalmers, RISE IVF lab, Mölndal and KTH's test bed in Södertälje with the help of Siemens, AFRY, Qbim, Virtual Manufacturing and EQPack.

SCARCE will investigate the needs, possibilities and obstacles in value chains up- and down-stream from a focal SME company. SCARCE will explore what data to measure and visualize, and how this data can enable more automated execution, as well as, more dynamic and proactive planning of production capacity and material flows across the companies in the value chain. In addition, we will study organizational capabilities, especially the future human role, for implementing and managing in a digital and data-driven value chain.
