Digital platforms of circular economy

Main purpose of the TRY OUT! -project is to make experiments of cleantech and circular economy. As a part of the big picture we have examined open data, digitalisation and their possibilities to advance circular economy and inter alia peeked into the world of blockchains. Here is a benchmark report made by project’s digital team. It lists different digital platforms of circular economy that have been found around the globe. The list surely is not 100% encompassing but it gives an overview of what kinds of solutions have been built in different regions. A part of the platforms is more marketplace-like and some are platforms for conversation and sharing.

It’s also important to notice that if or when we go and advance similar action in Finland wider than now, international knowledge is wise to take over.
