CE-RISE (Circular Economy Resource Information System) is an
EU-funded project aiming to optimise reuse, remanufacturing, and repair of electronic products alongside the recovery of raw materials.
The rising demand and limited supply of critical raw materials (CRMs) impair the ability to rapidly adopt technological change towards green and sustainable technologies, which directly affect the resilience of EU industries seeking to achieve Green Deal objectives for an equitable, zero-emission, and digitalized Europe.
In response to these challenges, the European Commission aims to minimize the loss of secondary raw materials (SRM) and optimize their reuse across value chains.
The project aims to create an information system and integrate digital product passports, that will share detailed information on electronic products.
CE-RISE will develop the system to provide stakeholders, including consumers, with a better understanding of the green credentials of electronic products and how to preserve important raw materials through the reuse, repair and recycling of these items.
Ultimately, CE-RISE will foster a dynamic ecosystem geared toward prolonging the use of materials in the economy and stimulating circular business models to reduce waste generation while optimizing the reuse of SRMs.
