The objective is to develop a digital platform of Circular Economy to provide a secure access to the information of materials, components and products. DigiPrime will help unlock new circular business models based on the recovery and reuse of high value-added used products with an intersectoral approach.

ICTA-UAB will work on two pilot demonstrations (WP6): batteries and mechatronics and electronics. For batteries, the focus will be on the remanufacturing and reuse of second life batteries with a cross-sectorial approach linking the e-mobility sector and the renewable energy sector (Solar and Wind energy application). In the mechatronic and electronics case study, ICTA-UAB will work on the remanufacturing and re-use of complex mechatronics for aftermarket applications linking the e-mobility and smart machining systems sectors as breaking systems, e-drives and printed circuit boards (PCBs).
