LINCIT - (LINear to CIrcular Transition)
Companies cannot achieve circularity on their own. Circularity, after all, is not a property of a single product, service, or business model – it is a property of an entire system. This project thus studies circularity from an ecosystem perspective.
Objective
The mission of LINCIT is to guide companies operating a linear supply chain to transition to a circular business ecosystem, and organize the associated logistics and operations.
Results
1. Starting small.
2. Redrawing partnerships.
3. Scaling the ecosystem.
4. Measuring.
Duration
01 January 2023 - 31 December 2025
Approach
The research questions will be studied in a Living Lab with three use case clusters: (1) reusable packaging and transport items, (2) servitization and remanufacturing, and (3) circular plastics.
