Metallurgy: key enabler of the Circular Economy HSC Sim as a tool for the analysis of large CE SYSTEMS

Reuter, M. A.

The complexity of metal and material mixtures in products
Simulation-based quantification of the resource efficiency of very large - Circular Economy (CE) systems
Various industrial examples for footprinting the CE e.g.
Copper rock to metal – exergy dissipation of the system
PV life cycle linked to energy system: exergy dissipation in the system
Zinc and lead processing systems
Product design for circularity for OEMs (mobile, LED, laptops etc.)
Battery recycling,
Water systems optimization, and
…many more, also developed during my time @ Outotec, also in client solution development, sales, etc.
Challenges?
Too many not yet accepting the above state-of-the-art in the CE discussion, leading to critical and sub-optimal discussions, policy, etc.

Keywords: Circular Economy; resource efficiency; HSC
