However, its practical implementation is often hindered by the lack of suitable and standardized metrics, as well as by high requirements for horizontal and vertical data integration. This white paper illustrates, through selected Manufacturing-X projects, how federated data ecosystems can help establish Circular Economy metrics as an effective management instrument for growth, margin protection, and resilience.\r\nBased on literature, industrial practice, and demonstrators, Circular Economy metrics are structured into four groups: overarching assessment approaches, disassembly-related indicators, lifetime-oriented metrics, and end-of-life and recycling-focused indicators. Use cases from Construct-X, Decide4ECO, Fluid 4.0, Chem-X, and other Manufacturing-X initiatives demonstrate the benefits of data-driven approaches for product, component, and material loops. At the same time, they reveal a current lack of interoperable, cross-industry standards for both metrics and data models.\r\nThe white paper concludes that data ecosystems such as Manufacturing-X are a key enabler for scaling circular business models. In particular, shared cross-sector frameworks for metrics, standardized information models based for example on the Asset Administration Shell, and the integration of circular metrics into existing systems and processes are essential. The work presented therefore marks an important step toward a data-driven and economically viable Circular Economy.","lang":"eng"}],"date_created":"2026-07-20T19:06:41Z","department":[{"_id":"152"}],"keyword":["Circular Economy","Circular Economy Metrics","Manufacturing-X","Data Ecosystems"],"type":"report","status":"public","has_accepted_license":"1","_id":"66548","publisher":"Manufacturing-X Guidance Board","user_id":"405","citation":{"mla":"Pottebaum, Jens, et al. <i>Understanding the Value of Data Ecosystems for Circular Economy Metrics</i>.

In this paper, a rule-based method for selecting design guidelines for material circularity selection is presented. For this purpose, a generic Product Life Cycle model is detailed with regard to Multi Material cycles (gPLC-MM). The presented method is divided into four steps. Core of the presented method is the comparison of circular product strategies with product life phases and material recovery processes. Engineering activities and increments of the product architecture are used to identify design guidelines. The results show that through the material circularity-oriented design guideline identification method, the product architecture is designed for different processes and technologies, to recover materials. The method allows engineers to select guidelines in a more targeted and consolidated way in sustainability-friendly product engineering.</jats:p>","lang":"eng"}],"date_created":"2023-07-31T09:09:56Z","file":[{"relation":"main_file","date_updated":"2023-07-31T09:18:33Z","file_name":"considering-engineering-activities-and-product-characteristics-to-achieve-material-circularity-by-design.pdf","access_level":"closed","file_size":894761,"file_id":"46220","content_type":"application/pdf","success":1,"creator":"phesse","date_created":"2023-07-31T09:18:33Z"}],"department":[{"_id":"152"}],"type":"conference","keyword":["Sustainability","Circular economy","Conceptual design"],"author":[{"id":"47565","last_name":"Gräßler","orcid":"0000-0001-5765-971X","first_name":"Iris","full_name":"Gräßler, Iris"},{"id":"60633","first_name":"Philipp","last_name":"Hesse","full_name":"Hesse, Philipp"}],"publication_identifier":{"issn":["2732-527X"]},"year":"2023","title":"CONSIDERING ENGINEERING ACTIVITIES AND PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS TO ACHIEVE MATERIAL CIRCULARITY BY DESIGN","intvolume":"         3","date_updated":"2024-03-25T11:02:43Z","publication_status":"published","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"doi":"10.1017/pds.2023.108"},{"intvolume":"        15","publication_status":"published","date_updated":"2023-06-27T06:39:47Z","publication_identifier":{"issn":["2071-1050"]},"author":[{"full_name":"Grenz, Julian","first_name":"Julian","last_name":"Grenz"},{"full_name":"Ostermann, Moritz","last_name":"Ostermann","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1146-0443","first_name":"Moritz","id":"44763"},{"first_name":"Karoline","last_name":"Käsewieter","full_name":"Käsewieter, Karoline"},{"full_name":"Cerdas, Felipe","first_name":"Felipe","last_name":"Cerdas"},{"first_name":"Thorsten","last_name":"Marten","full_name":"Marten, Thorsten","id":"338"},{"first_name":"Christoph","last_name":"Herrmann","full_name":"Herrmann, Christoph"},{"id":"553","first_name":"Thomas","last_name":"Tröster","full_name":"Tröster, Thomas"}],"year":"2023","title":"Integrating Prospective LCA in the Development of Automotive Components","doi":"10.3390/su151310041","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"article_number":"10041","main_file_link":[{"url":"https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/15/13/10041","open_access":"1"}],"abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"<jats:p>The development of automotive components with reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is needed to reduce overall vehicle emissions. Life Cycle Engineering (LCE) based on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) supports this by providing holistic information and improvement potentials regarding eco-efficient products. Key factors influencing LCAs of automotive components, such as material production, will change in the future. First approaches for integrating future scenarios for these key factors into LCE already exist, but they only consider a limited number of parameters and scenarios. This work aims to develop a method that can be practically applied in the industry for integrating prospective LCAs (pLCA) into the LCE of automotive components, considering relevant parameters and consistent scenarios. Therefore, pLCA methods are further developed to investigate the influence of future scenarios on the GHG emissions of automotive components. The practical application is demonstrated for a vehicle component with different design options. This paper shows that different development paths of the foreground and background system can shift the ecological optimum of design alternatives. Therefore, future pathways of relevant parameters must be considered comprehensively to reduce GHG emissions of future vehicles. This work contributes to the methodological and practical integration of pLCA into automotive development processes and provides quantitative results.</jats:p>"}],"related_material":{"link":[{"url":" https://www.mdpi.com/article/10.3390/su151310041/s1","relation":"supplementary_material"}]},"issue":"13","publication":"Sustainability","department":[{"_id":"9"},{"_id":"321"},{"_id":"149"}],"keyword":["prospective LCA","life cycle engineering (LCE)","lightweight design","automotive components","body parts","circular economy","steel","aluminum","hybrid materials","fiber metal laminates"],"type":"journal_article","date_created":"2023-06-27T06:35:20Z","status":"public","volume":15,"user_id":"44763","_id":"45782","publisher":"MDPI AG","quality_controlled":"1","citation":{"ama":"Grenz J, Ostermann M, Käsewieter K, et al.
