Building the Digital Thread for Circular Economy Product, Resource & Service Management

CircThread’s main objective is to unlock access to product data between stakeholders that is now in silos and utilise it for improved circularity decision-making across the extended product life cycle. The CircThread or Circular Digital Thread project vision is to deliver a digital platform acting as an ‘information broker’ in a marketplace, where individual products will gain a digital identity with links to information in a publicly accessible ‘’catalogue’’, that can be easily requested and exchanged. The catalogue linked to the CircThread cloud ecosystem and physical product tags, will enable mobile and desktop-based access for tracing, retrieving and adding information on-site. CircThread will thereby enable capture, link to, combine, and share both data and decision information for circularity as part of a collaborative information infrastructure, providing a Circular Product Chain of Custody.
