Abstract
We present a digital platform (Modelling Factory), which facilitates collaborative design of Circular Economy (CE) solutions from product and process level to strategic design questions. The platform supports integration of arbitrary open source and commercial software-based simulation models and environments. It helps the users to find quantifiable model-based solutions to their CE design tasks. Due to its multi-disciplinary and multi-player nature, CE applications offer an ideal playground for integrated design solution generation methods and their IT support. Various design methods supported will be introduced and examples provided of the possibilities of their integration, ultimately resulting in the capability of finding value-chain and value-network level optimal solutions needed to make circular economy a more lucrative option as compared to our present linear system.
