Returning end-of-life products to as-new condition is called remanufacturing. For more industrial companies to take an interest in it, remanufacturing needs to be economically viable. Johan Vogt Duberg has investigated how this can be accomplished.

Circularis is a project that aims to develop innovative support for Swedish manufacturers who want increased resource efficiency and sustainability in their products and services.

The project will support B2C manufacturers in the transition towards remanufacturing by developing and improving manufacturers' remanufacturing ecosystems as well as investigating the remanufacturing potential of consumer products.

The overall purpose for the project is to support manufacturers to become more resilient, circular and sustainable through remanufacturing and contribute to a more efficient use of resources.

There are hundreds of definitions of circular economy in the world, which leads to confusion. A new ISO standard with a definition widely accepted and disseminated will remedy the situation.

Researchers working on the project "Interdisciplinary networking for a sustainable and circular economy (INSCE) met in Kaunas Lithuania to discuss current and futures trends in sustainability and circular economy related research.

With its focus on crisis preparedness and on society’s ability to manage these, the research programmes are assessed as having great potential to benefit society.

Stanford University has recently published an update of the list of the two percent most cited scientists in the world. And again several researchers at IEI are on the list.

Associate Professor Yang Liu is among the leading contributors to the subject areas “Big Data” and “Business Analytics” in the manufacturing industry. This achievement also puts LiU among the best institutions worldwide.

Vast numbers of sensors monitor industrial production systems detecting faults or deviations. A Vinnova-financed project explore how artificial intelligence can be used to detect patterns in the deviations and prevent problems before they arise.
