We support the shift to a circular economy.
Sustainable businesses in balance with natural resources
The circular economy means being resource-efficient with the resources and assets we have on the planet. At Chalmers Industriteknik, we are working to increase understanding of how to live in balance with natural resources while meeting society's needs and contributing to competitive and sustainable businesses. At Chalmers Industrial Engineering, we work with the 'how' and it is important for us to make things happen. The transformation from a linear to a circular economy will not happen overnight, but the important thing is to start - whether it is with small or big steps. Our people have both the expertise and the breadth to contribute to the systems perspective. We often move across the interdisciplinary landscape in the areas below.
We have chosen to describe our work in terms of areas that we consider particularly important components of the transition to a circular economy, but this does not exclude other areas that are encountered in the interdisciplinary field:
Traceability & Digital Product Passport
We have been working on the challenges of circular business models, traceability and Digital Product Passports since the beginning. With our experience and expertise, we can help companies navigate regulations and standards to add value and grow.
Circular design
Circular design aims to make products and processes more sustainable by minimising waste and reusing materials. Traceability helps to ensure that products are safe, origin-labelled and ethically produced.
Circular & sustainable food chains
Within Circular and Sustainable Food Chains, we at Chalmers Industriteknik work with everything from circular flows for sustainable production, sustainable logistics chains, to healthy and tasty food and healthy eating habits and circular business models.
Circular strategies & Business models
A shift to a circular economy requires a change in the way we produce, consume and dispose of goods and services. This means that we need new strategies and business models to manage a systemic shift.
Analysis & transformation of value chains
The circular economy requires an understanding of the entire value chain, increased collaboration between customers and suppliers and a deep understanding of material flows. We help you get a full picture of the value chain.
Industrial & Urban Symbiosis
Industrial and urban symbiosis involves companies working together to share resources and use waste as a raw material to create more sustainable production. This means that companies work together to manage waste, share equipment and technologies, and exchange raw materials and energy with each other.
Industrial recycling
At Chalmers Industriteknik, we work with recycling in several areas. Together, we have a broad expertise in circular systems, materials specialists to process developers using AI technology to develop processes for recycling.
Blue bioeconomy
Circular design aims to make products and processes more sustainable by minimising waste and reusing materials. Traceability helps to ensure that products are safe, origin-labelled and ethically produced.
