Sustainability Support and Information Centre 17 partners 9 EU countries 1 webtool www.ssic-eitrm.com What kind of services would you expect?
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.
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?
