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
