Compliance & Risks Seek EEE Manufacturers to Partake in Research Study for EU Commission funded Project Scandere
Compliance & Risks today announces its partnership with EU Commission funded Project Scandere, focused on examining the potential of product-as-a-service (PaaS) models to better execute and promote a sustainable, circular economy.
This is a fantastic opportunity for EU based Electronic, Electrical and Electromechanical manufacturers to shape the future of the Product as a Service business model in the European Union.
Danny Cassidy, SVP of Growth at Compliance & Risks and Panel member commented:
“For the past two decades, Compliance & Risks have been trusted by the world’s leading brands to simplify the process of product compliance & managing regulatory change. The demand for critical raw materials is increasing with growing populations, and the challenge of producing units to service this market will become more and more pressing. It’s a privilege to be invited to participate and engage with wider Industry on ideas to help address this challenge – we simply have to.”
Product as a Service (PaaS) and the Circular Economy
The EU Commission helps to shape the EU’s overall strategy, proposes new EU laws and policies, monitors their implementation and manages the EU budget. Often cited as the gold standard on product regulation and manufacturing standards, what is regulated in the EU, tends to roll out to other parts of the world.
Eco-innovation is at the heart of European policies to help reduce impacts on the environment and transition towards achieving the objectives of the European Green Deal.
A Product as a Service model (PaaS) is an innovative business model in which a company provides a product to a customer, but instead of selling it outright, the customer pays for the use of the product over a period of time. This allows the company to retain ownership of the product, and often results in a more sustainable and eco-friendly approach to consumption.
PaaS can play an important role in promoting a circular economy by keeping products in use for longer periods of time, reducing the need for new resources and limiting waste. By facilitating customers to use a product without owning it, means the product can be reused multiple times by different customers, instead of being discarded after a single use.
Project Scandere & the EU Commission
Project Scandere is a research project spearheaded by Linkoping University involving industry and academic thought leaders to raise awareness of and accelerate the adoption of PaaS models to increase the efficiency and sustainability of the circular economy, while also providing greater value to consumers and supply chains and the environment.
Cork headquartered, Compliance & Risks is joining the consortium to conduct this research and develop best practices for implementing product-as-a-service models.
Joe Skulski, CEO at Compliance & Risks said:
“Our goal is to ensure global organizations have the tools & information to build safe, sustainable, products in a world full of change. We work with the world’s leading brands who are spearheading ESG efforts to advance the circular economy. Product-as-a-service models have the potential to revolutionize the way we think about consumption and production, and we are eager to contribute to this important conversation.”
The research study will specifically involve surveying a selected list of European Electronic, Electrical and Electromechanical manufacturing companies to ascertain their experience with the feasibility and practicality of regulations with PaaS in the EU member states.
