Abstract [en]

Circular economy is expected to transform the way we produced, use and operate, and provide recycle services. Circular economy encapsulates a wide range of services including repair service and collection services and recycling services. While the industry is developing better ways of saving energy and material, the efficient use of resources is still a challenge. How are circular economy implemented in the industry? The research projects include practical solutions and application in the automotive sector, in the plastics sector and in the building sector. The research method is based on a LCA based approach. The examples from industry show that the dominant use of impact in industry is the use of carbon footprint. Less is known on other sustainability aspects. For example, the use of secondary materials and critical or biobased resources. For example, the direct and indirect social benefits of circular solutions. The direct effect of more workforce locally on repairing service. The indirect effect of using less resources, such as critical resources and less mining. To promote the circular economy a broader sustainability approach is needed.
