Platforms

The RVRC programme brings together five platforms, each tackling a unique part of the ReMake value chain. By combining foundational and applied research, we’re advancing circular solutions that preserve value in both products and materials supported by a strong focus on the digital lifecycle.

Together with industry partners, we’re co-designing demonstrators across diverse sectors to showcase how circular approaches can unlock commercial opportunities in high-integrity environments.

As shown in the diagram, the RVRC program is focusing on delivering the circular economy through a tighter loop from end of use back to (re)design and (re)manufacturing rather than defaulting to recycling.
