Digital platform technology research to enable producers to achieve greater product longevity and better end of life solutions.

我们都有过这样的经历：屏幕、按钮或连接器坏了，无法修复，电池寿命下降，无法更换，或者电量满了后无法增加存储空间。就个人而言，这是令人恼火的，它要求我们购买不必要的、昂贵的新产品，以绕过本应容易解决的问题。但从全球来看，情况要糟糕得多。我们每年制造超过五千万吨的电子垃圾。将循环经济从领跑者扩大到主流经济参与者，将为到2050年实现气候中和和实现经济增长与资源利用脱钩做出决定性贡献。Twist Solutions Ltd正在开发一种数字平台方法，帮助消费者转向更可持续的消费，生产商对其产品的寿命和寿命结束承担更大的责任。在这个项目中，Twist将进行研究，设计一个新颖的数据原型，其中包含流行消费产品的每个电子子组件的数字孪生，包括环境和经济影响。与早期采用者的试验将确定哪些组件最能影响寿命的延长，更可持续的产品采购，以及新的循环过程的生态设计。

We've all had the experience of a busted screen, button, or connector that can't be fixed, battery life degrading without a path for replacement, or being unable to add more storage when full. Individually, this is irritating and requires us to make unnecessary and expensive purchases of new products to get around what should be easy problems to solve. Globally though, it's much worse. We create over fifty million tons of e-waste each year.Scaling up the circular economy from front-runners to the mainstream economic players will make a decisive contribution to achieving climate neutrality by 2050 and decoupling economic growth from resource use. Twist Solutions Ltd is developing a digital platform approach to help consumers to move to more sustainable consumption, with producers taking greater responsibility for the longevity and end of life of their products.In this project, Twist will conduct research to design a novel data prototype which holds a digital twin of each electronic sub-component of popular consumer products, including both environmental and economic impacts. Trials with early adopters will define which components most affect the extension of life, more sustainable sourcing of products, and an eco design of new circular processes.
