2 1. Thematic domain of the demo-case De- and Remanufacturing includes the set of technologies, tools and knowledge-based methods to recover, re-use and upgrade functions and materials from industrial waste and post-consumer high-tech products, under a new producer-centric Circular Economy perspective. Example: Benefits of Remanufacturing in the automotive industry (Electronic Air Control unit). [Source Kohler: D., Mechatronic Remanufacturing at Knorr-Bremse Commercial Vehicles Systems (CVS)]. EU Towards a circular economy, a zero waste programme for Europe, COM (2014) 398 final

3 1. Thematic domain of the demo-case Shifting toward a circular economy model would deliver better outcomes for the European economy and yield annual benefits of up to 1.8 trillion by Annual total cost of producing and using primary resources, EU-27, euros trillion Source: Europe s circular-economy opportunity McKinsey Center for Business and Environment September 2015

4 1. Thematic domain of the demo-case G7 Summit Declaration June 2015: The G7 Alliance on Resource Efficiency promotes Circular Economy, Remanufacturing and Recycling as strategic actions. At European level, the Commission has launched in December 2015 the strategic initiative Closing the loop - An EU action plan for the Circular Economy. H2020 R&I projects under the Focus Area Industry 2020 in the Circular Economy, calls CIRC, Spire and FOF, at TRL 6-7. Lack of infrastructures that can demonstrate to industry integrated circular economy solutions and business models, de-risking the private investment. These Innovation Hubs should act as technology gateways" that any business sector can use. De-and Reman pilot network Applied Research - Techn. Validation - Demonstration - Ready to market

5 1. Thematic domain of the demo-case The main objective of the De-and Remanufacturing pilot network is to integrate a multidisciplinary set of advanced and innovative enabling technologies and digital innovations (TRL 7-8) and to exploit the regional Smart Specializations in synergic way to offer services to European end-users, mainly manufacturing companies, to solve specific sustainability-oriented problems related to their products. The pilot network nodes will act as Innovation Hubs for Circular Economy, being a network of competence and technology centers and supporting future producer-driven replication at industrial scale (TRL 9).

6 2.1 Use-cases (or industrial applications) addressed in the demo-case The Pilot Network is seen as a One-stop-shop for delivering innovation services to the industrial end-users with a multi-regional approach. Industrial Innovation Service Portfolio Reverse logistics optimization. Product Life-cycle information management. Environmental sustainability assessment and LCA. Patent and technology IPR searches. Market analysis and business models. Legislation review and innovation deals. Product and process certification. Business case validation and scenario analysis. Circular economy training. Technical feasibility assessment. De-and Remanufacturing Process-chain design and demonstration. System integration and control. Product design/re-design for circular economy. Prototyping and product testing. Production of pre-series. Process chain optimization, simulation, and analytics. Value-chain integration. Support to Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) applications.

13 5 Intra-regional investment plan Business Model of the Pilot Network This pilot network is designed to be a generator of new industrial plants for European circular economy solutions. Pilot Network Revenues: The User will pay a daily fee for each access. The User will share with the pilot network a portion of the revenues obtained by selling the product/service demonstrated by the business case developed by the platform (IPR exploitation). The core partners of the pilot (companies, universities and RTOs) will pay a yearly fee to be part of the pilot network and to access the generated knowledge and best practices. Pilot Network Costs: Each demonstration project will have a specific duration and will requires a group of full-time dedicated persons (hired and paid by the pilot network). Maintenance and upgrade costs of the pilot network facilities will be covered yearly by the pilot. A cost of customization of the platform for each new project will be incurred (paid by the pilot).

14 6 Inter-regional investment plan Business Model of the Pilot Network Year after installation Accesses to the pilot network (n ) Pilot total revenues (mln ) Total costs (mln ) Installation & Launch costs co-funding (mln ) 12 / / / / Installation & Launch costs funding (mln ) 28 / / / / Annual margin (mln ) Cumulative margin (mln ) The installation and launch investments will be paid back in 5 years if 4 demonstration projects are attracted per year (on average) by each regional pilot. Considering a successful industrial replication rate of the developed solutions of 25%, about 35 new industrial installations will be originated by the pilot network in these 5 years. The cumulative revenue for the involved companies of about 215 million Euros. The 35 new installations will mobilize private resources for 535 million Euros. Leverage factor for the public investment of about 19 in five years from the pilot network installation.

18 SCREEN Synergic Circular Economy Across European Regions SCREEN H2020 aims at the definition of a replicable and scalable approach, to support European Regions in the transition to new Circular Economy crossregional value-chains. This will be done through the identification and implementation of operative synergies between R&I investments of H2020 program and EU structural funds. The methodology developed within the project will be replicable in all the European Union, thus creating an interregional framework for financing Circular Economy value chains.

20 De-and Remanufacturing EC Workshop on Investment Platform

21 9 Current challenges and actions planned in 2018 Challenges. The platform is very advanced. However, barriers still exist, and thus significant improvements are possible, in the Demonstrate and Upscale phases. Definition of IPR exploitation and related documentation. Definition of service delivery contracts and description of legal obligations towards users. Definition of funding instruments for supporting further infrastructure upscales (Layer 1) (e.g. mix of regional, national and EU subsides and/or loans). Definition of feasible financial routes and channels to facilitate the industrial exploitation of the results demonstrated by the network (Layer 3).

22 9 Current challenges and actions planned in 2018 ID Specific action 1 Definition of the financial sources combining regional, national and European support. Continue the interaction with EIB and regional financial stakeholders. 2 Continue the collection of Letters of Intent (LoI) from the stakeholders and achieve 100 letters of intent (60 currently signed). 3 Formalize the participation of interested regions (Wallonia, South Netherlands, Trentino, Catalunya, Pays de la Loire, East Netherlands). 4 Involve more potential users and technology providers from emerging European regions (Organization of matchmaking events in emerging regions) 5 Finalize the formats for IPR agreements during users accesses, by interacting with the EC IPR helpdesk. 6 Promote proposals in H2020 and regional programs to bring new enabling technologies into the pilot plants (Large Equipment Remanufacturing, ICT Platform for Circular Economy, Plastics recycling and re-use). 7 To contribute to the definition of new cross-regional circular economy value chains (Screen CSA). 8 Prepare specific material to further promote Dissemination, Communication and Awareness. 9 Overcome the identified barriers through the support of the Expression of interest from the DG Regio (if approved). 10 Start designing the platform for connecting the existing facilities and be ready for the pilot network service delivery.
