EUCLID is a digital platform with objective of mentoring, support and design culture for SMEs in the arts and crafts sector in furniture design to apply the circular design strategies required by the EU ESPR (Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation).
The digital platform is characterised by a qualitative assessment pathway divided into four main phases of the furniture product life cycle. For each phase, the SME is assisted in indicating the environmental characteristics of the product design to be realised (or already realised), in terms of qualitative KPIs:
- choice of materials
- production process
- use
- end-of-life
During the evaluation phase, supporting and in-depth information is provided for each KPI to help SMEs learn and acquire know-how on circular design.
EUCLID aims to be a tool to help SMEs to
- acquire knowledge on the environmental characteristics of materials and products,
- start a step-by-step approach towards designing circular products,
- apply resource-efficient strategies for materials and processes,
- become more competitive internationally.
Project partners: Matrec, Zakaria Khalfaoui Studio, Scatolificio SMS and Ironda.
EUCLID is a project developed thanks to grant from Friend CCI, European Cluster Collaboration Platform (ECCP) founded by the European Commission.
