MagIC research centre, leveraging its expertise in data science, management research, and sustainability, proposes a comprehensive approach to support the bio-based industry in achieving circularity. Our expertise include:

1. Circular Design of Bio-based Products:

• Utilize Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodologies to assess the environmental impact of bio-based products throughout their life cycle.
• Employ Data Science to optimize bio-based production processes, minimizing resource and energy consumption.
• Collaborate with partners to design bio-based products for reusability, repairability, and recyclability, leveraging Information Systems research for end-of-life planning.
• Develop data-driven insights on the potential for re-using recycled materials in the local market through Marketing and Consumer Behaviour research.

2. Information Systems for Bio-Based Product Circularity:

• Develop a product information system utilizing Blockchain technology to track the bio-based content and life cycle of products, promoting transparency and consumer trust.
• Leverage Data Science to create clear and accessible information for consumers on the environmental and social benefits of bio-based products.
• Conduct research on consumer behavior and preferences through Marketing research to improve the effectiveness of product information systems.

3. Socioeconomic Assessment of Circular Bio-Based Systems:

• Utilize Public Policy research to analyze the economic viability of circular bio-based systems and identify potential policy interventions to incentivize their adoption.
• Analyze the potential for job creation and skills development in the circular bio-economy through Management research.
• Work with partners to assess the societal implications of circular bio-based systems, ensuring inclusivity and equitable benefits.
