Resource-wise solutions are based on the idea of sustainable and low-carbon solutions focusing on four main topics. Resource-wise solutions include
- energy efficiency and renewable energy,
- material efficiency and wise use of natural resources,
- circular economy and
- reduction of waste.
In addition, the solutions need to be developed in a holistic way which focuses on environmental impact of the whole value chain and product life-cycle instead of partial optimisation.

Illustrating resource-wise solutions
The aim of the project is to develop a demonstration and research platform as well as demonstrations for presenting resource-wise industrial solutions. The demonstration platform is build upon CoProtolab environment which is enhanced with tools and functionalities for illustrating resource-wise ecosystems in VR environment.
The demonstrations are developed in two iteration cycles, which focuses on different resource wise strategies:
- Energywise metal industry which utilises renewable energy and databased energy optimisation
- Services of the equipment providers to support the resource-wise production of wood
Visions and LCA models are created for the basis of demonstrations in collaboration with companies, researchers and stakeholders. The visions describe possible development activities during the next 5 years and the visions were created based on trends and current industry information. You can find more information about the trends and visions in Muovaaja magazine.
The virtual demonstrations are presented in the events targeted at regional SMEs as well as separate testing event for companies:
- Ostrobotnian industry fair 24th November 2021
- Smart Energy exhibition in Energyweek 23rd March 2022
- Subcontracting exhibition 2022
The demonstration platform and demonstrations support resource wise society and the R&D of sustainable product-service systems industrial SMEs and universities in Ostrobothnia. The project results in a resource-wise visions and demonstrations, virtual environment for illustrating and studying resource-wise value networks, ecosystems and product-service systems.
