A collaboration of the stakeholders representing different sectors of the supply chain form a knowledge community who have the potential to attract the resources to progress the novel solutions crossing multiple sectors.
This will avoid duplication of research and will deliver benefits to the community in a fast and efficient manner.
Major issues identified by the stakeholders are:
- High level focus on circular economy and sustainable development goals
- Evidence base to support translation of academic research
- Life cycle analysis & modelling to provide guidance on merits of selected solutions
- Scaling up and validation opportunities for design and field trials
