Onboarding
Welcome to CIRCULOOS
Learn what the project offers, how to join via the Expression of Interest, and prepare for Open Calls #2 and #3. Access tools, guidance, and funding opportunities to build your circular supply chain.
RAMP platform
RAMP supports your circular transition by connecting you with partners and offering 100+ digital tools to optimise manufacturing and adopt sustainable practices.
Data platform
Learn to use the CIRCULOOS Data Platform to securely share data, monitor supply chains, and drive sustainable decision-making.
Build Circular Manufacturing Skills with CIRCULOOS Tools
CIRCULOOS offers practical tools co-developed with industrial pilots to ensure real-world applicability. Designed to support sustainable and efficient manufacturing, these solutions are continuously tested and expanded to meet the evolving needs of circular supply chains
GRETA tool
Learn how to use GRETA, the CIRCULOOS tool for assessing sustainability impacts across the product lifecycle—from cradle to gate. Understand key indicators like carbon footprint and gain actionable insights to support more informed, sustainable decision-making in circular manufacturing.
SCOPT tool
Learn how to use SCOPT, the CIRCULOOS tool that identifies the most effective intra-factory and supply chain configurations. Analyse your operations based on life cycle assessment (LCA) and cost indicators to enhance efficiency, reduce waste, and support circular manufacturing strategies.
SCDT tool
Learn how to use SCDT, the CIRCULOOS tool that simulates and visualizes factory workflows and supply chain interactions. Gain a clear view of inputs, outputs, and internal processes—both within factories and across the entire supply chain—to support smarter, data-driven decisions in circular manufacturing.
Training in Blockchain for Circular Value Chains
Explore how blockchain technology is used in CIRCULOOS to enable secure, transparent, and verifiable data exchange across partners. Learn how it supports traceability, builds trust in circular value chains, and ensures integrity in sustainability reporting.
Blockchain first step
Blockchain is a decentralised technology that enables secure, transparent, and immutable data sharing. It builds trust between organisations without intermediaries and supports collaboration in circular manufacturing by ensuring reliable data exchange across complex supply chains.
Blockchain for traceability
Blockchain enables traceability in circular supply chains by ensuring secure, transparent, and tamper-proof data sharing. It allows stakeholders to track materials, verify sustainability claims, and collaborate effectively, supporting more trustworthy, efficient, and auditable circular manufacturing ecosystems.
Blockchain as value exchange
Blockchain as a value exchange enables secure, transparent transactions between stakeholders without intermediaries. It supports tokenisation, automation, and trusted data sharing, allowing new business models and incentivising collaboration within circular manufacturing ecosystems.
Training in Business & Communication for Circular Impact
Build Strong Circular Models and Share Them Effectively
Learn how to design sustainable, collaborative business models using CIRCULOOS tools and R-strategies. At the same time, develop communication skills to engage stakeholders, disseminate results, and maximise your impact through strategic storytelling and outreach.
Business model
Learn how to design, validate, and scale circular business models that create value while reducing waste. This training helps you understand how to integrate R-strategies.
Partnerships & scale up
Learn to build collaborative value chains, and turn sustainability into a competitive advantage
Communication
.Communicating a circular manufacturing project means turning a technical topic into clear, practical messages that show real impact—helping SMEs reduce waste, create value, improve sustainability, and collaborate through trusted digital tools.
