[Re]value: new applications for regional hemp and wool

An Interreg-funded research and development project aimed at securing a future for local wool and hemp in interior applications. Within the project, we model and calculate impacts of various materials and products. C_passport® is used to make sure the products can fulfil their circular potential. Additionally, we engage with consortium partners, market parties and students to raise awareness and knowledge about circular systems and the ways in which we can improve the products we use and produce.

Managing Sustainability Tradeoffs (MAST)

This project, funded by ITEA, aims to find the optimal tradeoff for various factors that influence sustainability. The use cases span over various participating countries – Denmark, Portugal and the Netherlands. All use cases concern software-intensive systems, in which not only the influence of efficiency and maintainability is included, but the use of materials as well. Cirmar contributes via its parent company, FBBasic, and creates Digital Product Passports as well as the connection with standardization efforts within the scope of this project.

Reinkarneer - raising quality and use of recycled content

Reinkarneer is a project funded by the Just Transition Fund (JTF). In this project, we work together with producers of plastic, research and knowledge institutes as well as use case partners that apply plastics in their products. The overarching aim of the project is to raise the quality and value of recycled content. Part of this challenge is to create a better understanding of the qualities and application areas of recycled plastics. By developing a common language (uniform nomenclature) of these recycled materials, and capturing these data in Digital Product Passports, we want to accelerate the adoption of recycled materials in product applications.
