Context
Business parks generate and receive many material flows. Without structured data and coordination, these flows are often treated as waste rather than potential inputs for other companies. Circular business parks require insight into what is available, where it occurs and what value can be retained.
Approach
The project used waste-flow data to identify circular opportunities and to support the development of a platform for exchanging material streams.
New Economy’s role
New Economy contributed circular data interpretation, eco-cost logic and opportunity development for business parks.
Outputs
- Residual-flow analysis
- Eco-cost and circular potential interpretation
- Opportunity mapping for business parks
- Basis for a material-exchange platform
Why it matters
The project made circular opportunities visible at business-park scale and helped turn waste data into implementation intelligence.
