Materials

Objective: To identify a portfolio of materials to support design for circularity and to develop a materials selection process for promoting Circular Economy.

 A portfolio of materials will be compiled through:

  • Research of Related Industries
  • Horizon Scanning
  • Industry Needs Monitoring

Materials will be classified by:

  • Function: Packaging & Housings, Electronics, Function/Structure
  • CE attributes (recyclability, reusability, re-manufacturability)

Develop a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) process to inform material selection in this solution space:

  • Reusability vs disinfection/sterility
  • Referencing MD standards
