Abstract [en]

Circularity is most often related to resource usage directly affected by products. However, as manufacturing companies hugely affect global warming, enhancing resource utilization throughout all activities and practices of a manufacturing company is crucial. Not knowing where to start carrying out circularity practices in manufacturing might lead to the neglection of doing so. To aid manufacturing companies in initiating their journey towards circularity and to get a rapid insight into current circularity practices, this paper introduces an industry applicable assessment tool providing insight into the plant’s current state of circularity practices based on rapid plant assessment methodology. The developed rapid circularity assessment consists of 20 theoretically derived questions and 10 categories within key areas of circularity. It has been tested in five Swedish manufacturing companies enabling an iterative development process, as well as validation of questions and categories.

Abstract [en]

The manufacturing industry stands in front of huge challenges. Negative environmental impacts must be drastically reduced and new sustainable products must be introduced at an accelerating pace. Coping with these challenges are significant in order to deal with the increasingly emerging climate crisis. To slow down the climate crisis, the approach of circularity wherein the utilization and lifetimes of resources and materials are maximised with the aim to achieve a near perpetual closed material loop has gained a significant increase in attention. However, most research within circularity has emphasised on the product, especially practices occurring after being produced. A seldomly studied perspective involves exploring the realization of circularity within the production system. A clear description is lacking regarding what circularity in production systems actually constitutes of, and how this can be realized. Therefore, the purpose of this thesis is to expand the knowledge regarding the realization of circularity in production systems. To fulfil the purpose, this research was initiated by a literature review and a document study, which were conducted in order to describe which circularity practices exist in production systems, both form an academic and practical point of view. Subsequently were workshops with industrial experts within production systems held in order to identify challenges with realizing circularity in production systems. The literature review, document study, and workshops laid the foundation for support development, which was the final phase in the thesis. This included supporting the longevity of production systems by adopting circularity theories to cover production system, as well as investigating how to analyse and evaluate circularity in production systems. The results from this were incorporated in a conceptual framework for circular production systems and in a tool for rapid assessment of circularity in production systems.

Abstract [sv]

Tillverkningsindustrin står inför enorma utmaningar. Miljöpåverkan måste drastiskt minska och nya hållbara produkter måste introduceras i allt snabbare takt. Att hantera dessa utmaningar är betydande för att hantera den alltmer framväxande klimatkrisen. För att bromsa klimatkrisen har cirkularitet, där utnyttjandet och livslängden för resurser och material maximeras med målet att uppnå en nästan evig sluten materialslinga, fått en betydande uppmärksamhet. Hittills har forskning inom cirkularitet fokuserat på produkterna som tillverkas, framför allt under användningen av produkten. Ett sällan studerat perspektiv innebär att undersöka hur cirkularitet i produktionssystem kan uppnås. En tydlig beskrivning saknas gällande vad cirkularitet i produktionssystem egentligen innebär och hur detta kan realiseras. Därför är syftet med denna avhandling att utöka kunskapen om realiseringen av cirkularitet i produktionssystem. För att uppfylla syftet initierades denna forskning av en litteraturgenomgång och en dokumentstudie. Dessa genomfördes för att beskriva arbetssätt kopplat till realiseringen av cirkularitet inom produktionssystem, både från en akademisk och praktisk ståndpunkt. Vidare hölls även workshops med experter inom produktionssystem för att identifiera utmaningar med att uppnå cirkularitet inom produktionssystem. Litteraturgenomgången, dokumentstudien och workshops lade grunden för stödutveckling, som var den sista fasen i avhandlingen. Denna inkluderade att stödja produktionssystemens livslängd genom att anpassa existerande teorier om cirkularitet till produktionssystem, samt att undersöka hur man analyserar och utvärderar cirkularitet i produktionssystem. Resultaten från detta införlivades i ett konceptuellt ramverk för cirkulära produktionssystem och i ett verktyg för snabb utvärdering av cirkularitet i produktionssystem.
