Reference functional model for production in a circular economy

Reference functional model for the activities and processes involved in production (e.g., designing, manufacturing, and recovering products/materials) in a circular economy. The model includes inputs and outputs of each activity, as well as factors that constrain and enable the activities (controls and mechanisms), using the IDEF0 methodology. It provides a baseline scenario that is relevant for stakeholders across product development and supply chain, including business strategists, material suppliers, designers, manufacturers, consumers, and recovers/recyclers. The model is available as downloadable files and hosted on a website to view and explore directly.
