Designing the Future: A Workshop on Circular Ecosystem Development
- At a time when sustainability is no longer a choice but a necessity, this workshop will focus on the development of circular economy value creation systems. The urgent need to move from a linear take-make-waste model to a more sustainable circular economy model is more evident than ever. We invite researchers and practitioners in sustainability, innovation and strategy to join us for this interactive workshop session. Our research has identified a gap in the applicability of existing business ecosystem design methods to the development of circular ecosystems, prompting the creation of a novel process framework consisting of four stages: Vision, Configuration, Formation, and Operation. The workshop aims to provide insights on a state-of-the-art method to develop circular ecosystems and allows participants to apply their newly acquired knowledge on a real case study in the food packaging industry. At the same, by providing valuable feedback and engaging in moderated discussions, participants significantly support the validation and data collection on our current research on a circular business ecosystem development framework.

| 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)
Funding information:
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.
