How can digital solutions make electronics and automotive products last longer, be easier to repair, and reduce our dependence on scarce raw materials?
🚀That’s the challenge addressed by TXT GROUP within CIRCUITS: together with the other technical partners University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI), MARAS and OFFIS – Institute for Information Technology, TXT leads the development activities of the CIRC-UITS Circularity Toolbox.
🔧 This digital toolbox is designed to improve circularity in the electronics and automotive sectors by bringing forth a collection of innovative services supporting eco-design, reuse, repair, and recycling, namely:
✨ Simulation & DigitalTwins – to test more sustainable product designs
✨ AI-based Advisory – to guide better decisions on design and recycling
✨ Sustainability & Circularity Assessment – with clear KPIs on impact
✨ Advanced Interfaces (AR/ VR) – intuitive tools for operators
✨ Marketplace – for secure exchange of reused components and materials
🌍 Why does this matter?
Because in electronics and automotive, short product lifecycles and high material demand put pressure on both the planet and supply chains.
♻️With our project pilots (Bosch, AUMOVIO, TNO, Erion), we’re already testing how the toolbox can turn today’s waste into tomorrow’s resources.
👉 It’s more than just a set of digital tools: it’s a concrete step towards a greener, circular economy in Europe.
