Events in the Circular Business Lab

As a member of the Circular Business Lab at RISE, you get to participate in 4 yearly member meetups of different themes, as well as research deep dives and regular check-ins. This time we are diving into Design for Circularity – where we will start by building a shared overview using both theory and real-world examples, as well as looking into Future Adaptive Design.

In this online session the 20th of November, focus will be on aspects such as longevity, design for repair and upgradeability and avoiding the traps of premature obsolescence.

Företag och organisationer står inför den största affärsomställningen i modern tid. Den från linjär affärslogik till cirkulär med fokus på resurseffektivitet, värdebevarande och resiliens. Nya kundvärden kommer att skapas och konsumtionsbeteenden kommer att förändras. 

We are excited to launch our first cluster meet-up in the Circular Business Lab for Electronics later this week. We have gathered a group of forward leaning companies for an exciting conversation about how we can accelerate the transition to more circular electronics. On the agenda are three themes of high priority for our participants: 

• Electronics with reduced environmental impact
• Recycling of electronics including magnets
• Longer lifetimes vs improving recyclability

We look forward to a very inspiring event where new doors will be opened, and collaborations formed. Reach out to us in the Lab for more information. Contact Malin Orebäck

In the near future, all products sold within the EU will need a so-called digital product passport (DPP). This brings a new level of traceability based on augmented physical objects. It will also bring entirely new requirements on availability and quality of product data for both manufacturers and importers.
