Sustainable Materials Data Ecosystem

Purpose and goal

The overall goal is to increase speed, accuracy and the transparency of integrating new sustainable materials into the vehicle supply chain and accelerate the speed of implementation required for Sweden to lead the transition to sustainable road transport. Access to the right information provides conditions for designers to design for circularity, for manufacturers to choose materials that extend use, and for purchasers to assess and include new materials and suppliers.

Expected effects and result

Developed material data set and AI assisted tools Usability of new tools Collaborating value chain Standardised process for using circular materials

Planned approach and implementation

We propose a short and focused project to develop a material data sandbox, comprised of material data from both physical and sustainable material data sources, evaluate the data from perspectives of multiple personas based on real users, utilize both existing and explore new AI capabilities to extract insights from the data, and evaluate the end-to-end data flow from suppler into the sandbox utilizing a range of material suppliers.
