PLOOTO

Product Passport through Twinning of Circular Value Chains

Plooto is an initiative aimed at addressing the growing demand for scarce resources and critical raw materials by promoting resource efficiency, responsible waste management, and recycling. They have developed a Circular and Resilient Information System (CRIS) to support manufacturers in their transition to sustainable and circular practices. CRIS enables waste reduction, traceability of Secondary Raw Materials (SRMs), and real-time decision-making through digital services. Plooto plans to pilot their solution in three diverse supply chains to demonstrate the benefits of their approach. The first pilot focuses on using citrus waste from orange juice production to recover valuable compounds, which can be used in animal feed, food industry molasses, and cosmetics. The second pilot aims to reuse waste from the production of composite materials (CFRP) for drones, creating a circular value chain. The third pilot utilizes Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) to extract valuable magnets for increased usage.
