''Circularity Database Initiative''
Luxembourg's Ministry of the Economy recently presented the "Circularity Database Initiative" aimed at supporting companies in their transition to a circular economy.
At a press conference, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Economy, Étienne Schneider, presented this national initiative aimed at defining an audited standard for the efficient reuse of manufactured products at the end of their life cycle that will eventually lead to an industry standard at EU level. Launched by the Ministry of the Economy, the pilot project is part of efforts to support companies in their transition to a circular economy.
During the presentation of the project, Étienne Schneider said: "Our initiative aims to deploy the huge potential of the circular economy by filling the gaps in relevant data, including on the composition of the products.
To date, 50 companies from twelve different European countries have joined the Circularity Dataset Initiative. Among the international industry leaders like IKEA or ArcelorMittal, is also Astron Buildings.
During the presentation, René Oly, Innovation and Method Manager - Astron Buildings, presented the value added that results from the availability of circular data on products based on the example of dismountable, reusable and flexible car parks.
