Knowledge base for consumers in circular economy

Knowledge base for consumers in circular economy project creates a digital knowledge base where companies share their expertise to extend the life cycle of consumer products. The digital platform is an easy-to-use and content-expandable website that can be embedded in the websites of companies, networks or cities’ websites. It allows both businesses and consumers to easily access information on various circular economy services. Consumers are directed to the circular economy services of companies and the public sector.

The project will result in a diverse digital knowledge base and a new ecosystem where various companies and small businesses providing circular economy services will network with customers who need the services. The project aims to promote the development of the operating preconditions for circular economy services in Finland and at the same time supports Finland’s opportunities to become a pioneer in the field globally. In addition, the project will increase consumers’ circular economy skills and understanding of the measures required to extend the life cycle of products.
