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，没有更换的路径，或者充满时无法添加更多存储空间。就个人而言，这是令人恼火的，需要我们购买不必要的昂贵的新产品，以绕过本应很容易解决的问题。但在全球范围内，情况要糟糕得多。我们每年产生超过5000万吨的电子垃圾。将循环经济从领跑者提升为主流经济参与者，将对到2050年实现气候中性、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，以帮助消费者转向更可持续的消费，让生产商对产品的寿命和寿命承担更大的责任。在这个项目中，Twist将进行研究，设计一种新型的数据原型，它包含流行消费产品的每个电子子组件的数字孪生兄弟，包括对环境和经济的影响。对早期采用者的试验将确定哪些组件对延长寿命影响最大，更可持续地采购产品，以及新循环工艺的生态设计。

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.
