9 XXX EIT Raw Materials

10 2) NoIs and the SSIC Objective NoI: Mapping service aimed to provide overview and access to facilities and expert knowledge available within the consortium including pilot plants, technical centres and analytical and modelling infrastructure

11 Sustainability Support and Information Centre 17 partners 9 EU countries 1 webtool What kind of services would you expect?

12 SSIC supports industry, technology developers and policy makers within and outside the EIT Raw Materials in: Exploration and raw materials resource assessment : Data management of raw material supplies, supply and demand evolutions (IOA), criticality of raw materials, ore grade/quality, etc. Mining in challenging environments : Environmental and economic cost benefit and risk assessments, social hotspots in global supply chains, etc. Increased resource efficiency in mineral and metallurgical processes : Material flow analysis (MFA) applying thermodynamic models and efficiency assessments on processes and supply chains, etc.

13 Recycling and material chain optimisation for End-of-Life products Recyclability benefits, waste management scenario s through Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Life Cycle Costing (LCC), EoL criteria, critical raw materials retained in the EU economy, etc. Substitution of critical and toxic materials in products and for optimised performance at technological scale Toxicity assessments (e.g. USEtox ), upscaling and learning curves, macroeconomic assessments of global megatrends through modelling changes in Input Output tables (IOT), etc. Design of products and services for the circular economy Detailed economic analysis (profitability, job creation, etc.) of new business models, ecodesign, developing supporting tools, stimulating industrial symbiosis systems through flow analysis, etc. Is this in line with your expectations?

14 Questions What do you think about services provided by SSIC? Can these services be useful? For whom? Do you think that businesses are looking for such services? How would you turn SSIC into profitable business?

15 Content 1) Introduction Ghent University EIT 2) NoIs and the SSIC 3) SSIC webtool

16 SSIC webtool For external users Clients will make a request and sustainability experts will react creating a successful match

21 The request sent by the tool is visible for SPOC (single point of contact). (S)He can log in to the tool (as administrator), validate the request and send it to the selected experts. The experts receive an about awaiting request. They can log in to the tool (as users) and answer the request and make contact with the customer.

22 Questions What do you think about such webtool? How do you like the webtool s interface Do you find this webtool useful? Why? What would you improve?
