The project will focus on testing and piloting solutions for a product’s end-of-life, taking into consideration the design, state of the art refurbishment, remanufacturing and recycling technology.
The product innovations developed by the project across eco-design, collection, and reverse logistics will be implemented, tested, and demonstrated in five healthcare systems through community-engaged pilots in Norway, Belgium, Slovenia, Spain, and Germany.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]DURATION: 2022 – 2026

and non-profits, DiCE aims to support the transition from a fragmented and linear “take-make-waste” business model towards a circular and sustainable one, allowing the reuse of products and recovery of components and raw materials.
With a truly holistic solution that involves all industry stakeholders as well as end-users, they will be focusing on four products, representing different issues: an ePaper label, a smart wearable sensor, a smart pill box, and an endo-cutter used in surgical procedure.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][gva_block_heading title=”Tackling every step of the device’s life cycle” subtitle=”Comprehensive yet flexible approach”][/gva_block_heading][vc_separator color=”custom” border_width=”8″ el_width=”10″ accent_color=”#ffc800″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_space=”remove_padding_top”][vc_column width=”1/5″][gva_icon_box title=”Clever circular design” icon=”gv-icon-27″ description=”to leverage circularity possibilities early in the life cycle of the devices” icon_width=”fa-3x”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/5″][gva_icon_box title=”New technological solutions for improved logistics” icon=”gv-icon-40″ description=”including novel digital collection boxes, refurbishment, remanufacturing and recycling” icon_width=”fa-3x”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/5″][gva_icon_box title=”Behavioural changes and awareness for collection” icon=”gv-icon-1120″ description=”both from B2B and B2C perspectives” icon_width=”fa-3x”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/5″][gva_icon_box title=”Introducing the circularity approach for digital health devices” icon=”gv-icon-1090″ description=”through in-depth sustainability assessment on environmental, economic, and social level, environmental technology verification (ETV) feasibility assessment” icon_width=”fa-3x”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/5″][gva_icon_box title=”A comprehensive set of policy recommendations, standards and best practices” icon=”gv-icon-614″ description=”to promote uptake and replication of the DICE results and outcomes in the wider industry” icon_width=”fa-3x”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1666698510505{background-color: #ffffff !important;}”][vc_column][gva_block_heading title=”Partner Organizations”][/gva_block_heading][rev_slider slidertitle=”DiCE project partners” alias=”africamaval-project-partners-11″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1666698591420{background-color: #ffffff !important;}”][vc_column][vc_btn title=”BACK TO ALL PROJECTS” color=”primary” size=”sm” align=”right” i_icon_fontawesome=”fas fa-angle-left” add_icon=”true” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wrforum.org%2Fprojects%2F|title:Projects”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
