[Preprint]Circular Ecosystem Development
- Collaboration is vital for the transition to a circular economy. However, existing ecosystem design approaches lack essential elements required for circularity. Our four-stage Circular Ecosystem Development Framework addresses these gaps, exemplified by the plastic packaging sector. It fosters sustainable, collaborative, and transformative circular ecosystems across diverse industries, incorporating governance and user-level transformation.

| Note: | COPPA: Open Circular-Collaboration-Platform for Sustainable Food Packaging from Plastics
The aim of the research project ‘COPPA’ is to develop an open and scalable Circular Collaboration Platform (CCP) with functionalities that create benefits for recyclers, plastic reprocessors / converters, packaging manufacturers and food retailers.
Duration: 15.07.2022 – 14.07.2025
Funding no.: 281A707C20
Funding: Bundesministerium für Ernährung und Landwirtschaft (BMEL)
Promoters: Bundesanstalt für Landwirtschaft und Ernährung (BLE)
Acknowledgments:
The project is supported by funds of the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (BMEL) based on a decision of the Parliament of the Federal Republic of Germany via the Federal Office for Agriculture and Food (BLE) under the innovation support programme.
Benefits for the Target Group
The CCP enables an accurate and efficient exchange of information on the recyclate content and quality of plastic packaging. At the same time, by linking relevant environmental information, 'COPPA' makes the increase in individual and industry-related sustainability performance calculable and verifiable for well-founded communication.
