The average lifetime of products continuously decreasing and consuming products become more and more complex and generate enormous trash throughout their production. In order to reduce the ecological footprint and the CO2-emssion, companies and individual people start reducing and recycling their waste. This often only happens within a smaller circle in their own ecosystem. The circular economy gives the opportunity to open a follow up market for the produced waste. CAMELOT is working with global & largescale supply chain projects and can support you with exclusive data sets serving as input to circular value chain and KPIs affecting the business decisions. You will have access to our team of industry professionals, consultants, product owners, design thinking experts to work through a protoype. With your boundless creativity you can add additional inputs, KPIs and data from web and focus on the below areas:
1. What type of circular economies be defined based on input data like product type, costs, lifetime etc? Think about long lasting expensive articles being rented, resold or re-used in refurbished condition, down to recycling principles in the chemistry for example.
2. Which KPIs could be useful to steer and run a circular economy (e.g. utilization of products = material at customer/ entire volume of material in company; speed of circle = time per material ready to be used again; actual rental fees or reselling price; CO2 being saved etc).
3. Technological solution possibilities - whether you would like to deploy technological capabilities that show value out of large data sets? or build a platform that enables industries to calculate their potential for circular economy? Or design a Collaboration platform or an app. You are free to go beyond these solutions. Your product prototype must be convincing to the targeted customer base with unique selling points and a go-to market approach.
