The TREASURE semantic social network data on the circular economy aspect of automotive manufacturing
<p>The <a href="https://www.treasureproject.eu/">TREASURE</a> project looks at industrial innovation to address the problem of making onboard electronics in the automotive industry easier to recycle, increasing the industry's contribution to the circular economy. As part of it, a team of ethnographers generated and coded the corpus contained in this dataset. interviews conducted between January 2022 and June 2023 with car owners and enthusiasts at car industry events. The interviews focus on experiences with car electronics and perspectives on sustainability and the circular economy. The dataset is pseudonymized. TREASURE is supported by the European Union's Horizon 2020 programme, grant n. 101003587.</p>
Linear and circular economy figure
<p>Two figures representing a linear and circular economy approach with a plastic bottle as an example but is applicable to any recycable waste product and especially single-use plastic packaging.</p> <p>In the linear economy model the product is manufactured using principally new resources, largely petroleum based. Most of the product’s value is lost during its life cycle because of leakage along the entire value chain (red arrows), including pellet loss, littering, combined sewage overflow, loss during transport and improper storage of waste, and poorly designed products that are easily lost to the environment and difficult to recover (microbeads, small wrappers, torn corners of packaging). This leads to a contamination of the environment, affecting wildlife and human well-being. A small proportion is recycled (green arrow) for remanufacture, with the remainder utilized for energy recovery.</p> <p>In the circular economy model a high percentage of recycled content is used as feedstock for new products, and the remainder from sustainable sources (potentially biopolymers). Poor practices (red arrows) throughout the life cycle are mitigated, for example, by proper legislative policy, public awareness that leads to proper consumer waste handling, and incentivized recovery systems (e.g., returnable bottles). Recovery is further improved by regulating end-of-life design in products and packaging. This leads to reduced leakage of plastic to the environment from all sectors of society, and significant improvements are social justice concerns for communities that manage waste. The small amount of residual plastic is then disposed of responsibly.</p> <p> </p> <p>Figure and figure captions originally published in:</p> <p>Eriksen M, Thiel M, Prindiville M, Kiessling T 2018.

Barriers to Transitioning to a Circular Bio-based Economy: Findings from an Industrial Perspective
<p>The transition from a linear fossil-based to a circular bio-based economy represents an opportunity and a suitable pathway for achieving several sustainable development goals. However, the transition is a complex process since it requires transformative policies, purposeful innovation, access to finance, risk-taking capacity as well as new and sustainable business models and markets. Accordingly, the first step in this transition process is the identification of barriers that are hampering the transition to a sustainable circular bio-based economy. With this motivation in mind, this study reviews grey literature to identify barriers focusing on four critical sectors facing major challenges within the current linear economy and requiring a sustainable transition most urgently: construction, chemicals, plastics, and textile sectors. Employing an adapted STEEP methodology (Social, Technological, Economical, Environmental, Political), a total of 193 different barriers have been identified and clustered under six categories: cultural, technical, economic, environmental, governance, and structural. Regardless of the sector, cultural and structural barriers are identified as the most prominent; the lack of incentives for consumer behaviour change and lack of stakeholder collaboration were the most cited barriers among the literature records. From a value chain perspective, most of the barriers are related to the material processing and product manufacturing stage. Finally, potential solutions, extracted from the grey literature, are proposed to fill the gaps and overcome the identified barriers. Many of the identified barriers are common across the four investigated sectors, indicating the solutions or measures can be applicable in a wider perspective to promote the transition in the right direction.</p>

In addition, background information was also collected to enable some of the attributes of the respondent to be recorded. This included: country; city, years of experience in the industry as well as, in the household users’ survey, age and education level. </p> <p>The stakeholder groups surveyed are noted below, these being the key EEE supply chain actors.

Circular economy standards for automotive electronics: from a state of the art analysis to a new pre-standardization document
<p>The Standardization Toolkit, developed by <a href="https://www.uni.com/en/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">UNI (Italian Standards Body)</a> within the TREASURE project, is an open reserach tool designed to simplify reserach of international and european standards (EN and ISO) relevant to circular economy strategies in the automotive sector.</p> <p>This dynamic tool, powered by Microsoft Power BI, provides an extensive list of national, European, and international standards, detailing key information such as standard numbers, URLs for document retrieval, titles, publication years, and scopes.</p> <p>The Toolkit maps out 73 standards, including 61 current standards and 12 works in progress, overseen by prominent technical committees such as ISO and CEN. It covers crucial areas like life-cycle assessment, substance determination, and decision support frameworks, offering a valuable resource for stakeholders aiming to implement effective and sustainable practices.</p> <p>The Toolkit is freely available at <a href="https://www.treasureproject.eu/standardization-toolkit/">this link</a>.</p> <p>This publication includes the dateset behind the Standardization Toolkit, while D8.4 "Standardization Toolkit" describes the previous version of the mapping and the methodology behind the state of the art analysis.</p> <p>It has also been uploaded the D8.5 "Strategic standardization roadmap" which includes a description of the Standardization Toolkit, and the new pre-standardization document (CEN Workshop Agreement - CWA) developed within Treasure project. </p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Disclaimer:</strong> The standards retrieved from the Standardization Toolkit cannot be fully downloaded. The Toolkit serves to simplify the search for these standards and to provide an overview of what has been mapped during the TREASURE project’s standardization activities.</p>

Variable Geometry Turbines Industrialization for a Circular Economy of Distributed Wind Energy
<p>In this work we present a novel VAWT with passive variable geometry (PVG), which combines variable radius and variable pitch of the free blades. The turbine was optimized through extensive numerical simulations, with a final design featuring short start-up time, high steady-state efficiency, low construction complexity, and low material costs. A crucial reduction of nearly 50% in the blades' mass was obtained through the use of compression moulded composites. A full-scale physical prototype was tested in a dedicated wind tunnel facility, where the typical intermittent air flow of the UBL was replicated. The turbine was connected to standard power electronics found in the solar photovoltaic market. The measured electrical power output closely matches the numerical simulations, suggesting that our PVG design can achieve a 64% increase in the capacity factor compared to a fixed-geometry turbine. Thanks to this engineering breakthrough we believe that, for the first time, wind installations in the UBL can be competitive on the energy market. We conclude our contribution by discussing industrialization and sustainability aspects of our PVG-VAWT technology, and by projecting a deployment scenario towards the uptake of a distributed urban wind market.</p>
