Value Chain Focus

Virtual integration and simulation of the value chains from Pilots 1–4 across food, water and nutrients, plastics, and batteries/vehicles.

The Challenge ("As-Is")

Pilot 5 is not implemented as a physical pilot. Its challenge is to integrate information from the different regional pilots and value chains into a coherent virtual model.

The purpose is to explore cross-sectoral and interregional interactions, such as how circular value chains from different sectors can be connected, replicated or scaled.

The Solution ("To-Be")

CSSBoost develops a fully virtual and digital pilot that uses information from Pilots 1–4 to simulate interregional circular systemic solutions. The value chain integration will support configuration guidelines, knowledge exchange, interregional Communities of Practice, analysis of CSS configuration results, economies of scale, growth opportunities, measures and business models.
