This may also apply to information and communication technology services, e.g. solutions allowing for the reduction of electricity consumed by computer equipment or the introduction of business models that reduce the number of manufactured products. The application of this principle should be confirmed by indicating specific resources, substances, materials or products, the use of which was minimized as a result of the project implementation and at the same time did not result in a significant increase in the use of other resources, etc. The application of this principle can also be confirmed by conducting research specifically in this area.
One of the leading supplier
This principle involves the reuse of materials, raw materials or products that, instead of becoming waste in one production or service process, become raw material for another. It may also lead to the use of materials, raw materials or products for new functions if they are no longer used in their current form. You should then indicate specifically those materials, raw materials or products that can be reused during or as a result of the project implementation or that will receive a new, significant function in a given or other activity. The amount of such materials, substances or products that will be reused should be demonstrated as a measurable indicator.
Automation system components
As with the other principles, the application of the “reuse” principle can be confirmed by conducting research specifically in this area. The “repair” principle applies to the implementation of technological, logistic and marketing solutions within the project that ensure the availability of spare parts, operating and repair manuals, technical information or other tools, equipment or software enabling the repair and reuse of products without harm to their quality and safety. It involves extending the product life cycle thanks to the possibility of repairing, refreshing or improving its aesthetics, or creating comprehensive systems promoting product repair, e.g. by introducing technological standards or offering variable parts.
