    Data Spaces as Enablers for Sustainability
    (INFORMATIK 2023 - Designing Futures: Zukünfte gestalten, 2023) Hoppe, Christoph; Schmelzer, Robert; Möller, Frederik; Schoormann, Thorsten
    One of our society's most fundamental challenges is promoting sustainable development. Data sharing across organizations is one way to spur innovation and address the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through optimizing resource utilization, fostering circular supply chains, and producing accurate information about CO2 emissions. However, organizations often hesitate to share data given a range of concerns, including the fear of data misappropriation or the lack of control over what others do with their data. Data spaces as a novel artifact seek to tackle these issues by providing an integrated data management approach upholding data sovereignty. These spaces can boost sustainable development by being a secure and trusted digital infrastructure for organizations to share data for sustainable purposes. To disclose how this digital solution fosters sustainability, we present a set of 65 potentials of data spaces along with the dimensions of ecological, economic, and social sustainability.

    Implementierung des Circular Economy Konzepts bei ITDienstleistern: Eine Systematische Literaturrecherche
    (Projektmanagement und Vorgehensmodelle 2023 - Nachhaltige IT-Projekte, 2023) Koch de Souza, Larissa
    Auf der IT-Dienstleistungsbranche lastet ein enormer Handlungsdruck hinsichtlich ökonomischer und ökologischer Umweltveränderungen. Ein aktueller Trendansatz in diesem Bereich ist die Circular Economy (CE); denn der regenerative Systemansatz erzielt simultan ökonomische und ökologische Vorteilseffekte für Unternehmen. Die Implementierung des Ansatzes gestaltet sich bislang in Bezug auf die IT-Dienstleistungsbranche jedoch schwierig. In der Forschungsarbeit werden daher die Implementierungsvoraussetzungen von CE bei IT-Dienstleistern untersucht. Es wird das Grundkonzept der CE, sowie die Ausrichtung der Branche auf das Thema, mittels Systematischer Literaturrecherche (SLR) analysiert. Zudem werden fünf Hypothesen bezüglich der Implementierungsvoraussetzungen und Implementierungsmöglichkeiten (Umsetzungsarten) erarbeitet. Die Ergebnisse dienen der Unterstützung zirkulärer Projektdurchführungen bei IT-Dienstleistern.

    Innovations- und Transformationspotentiale für die zirkuläre Wirtschaft heben: Innovationen für die Circular Economy durch modernes Quantencomputing
    (INFORMATIK 2024, 2024) Hoffmann, Anna
    Die aktuellen Entwicklungen im Quantencomputing bieten durch hybride, quanten-klassische Algorithmen und die Neuentwicklung von Hardware innovative Optionen für die Transformation zum zirkulären Wirtschaften, wie sie im Entwurf zu einer Nationalen Kreislaufwirtschaftsstrategie im Juni 2024 vorgestellt wurden. Quantencomputer auf der Basis von Stickstoff-Fehlstellen-Zentren im Diamantgitter können bei Raumtemperatur benutzt werden und ihr Einsatz ist auch in mobilen Endgeräten oder in Satelliten denkbar. Die Transformation zum zirkulären Wirtschaften stellt die Gesellschaft vor besondere Herausforderungen, die nur durch nachhaltige Kooperation und ein neues Zukunftsdenken zu bewältigen sind. Die Bedingungen für echte Durchbrüche liegen im Raum der „Unknown Unknowns“, dem Ort maximaler Ungewissheit. Der Einsatz für eine zukunftsfähige Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft erfordert individuellen Mut. Die neuen Formen des zirkulären Wirtschaftens bieten vielfältige Möglichkeiten der Mitgestaltung, die Spielarten von Deep Tech sind für diesen Kontext noch nicht ausreichend ausgelotet. Mehr Zusammenarbeit in der Wissenschaftscommunity und weniger Wettbewerb ist erforderlich.

    Leihwand: Requirements and Conceptualization of a Loan & Sharing System
    (Mensch und Computer 2017 - Tagungsband, 2017) Ackermann, Laura; Domhardt, Michael
    Loaning items such as tools leads to a high amount of administrative tasks in universities and other non-profit organisations. Nevertheless, commercial automatic tool management systems are not affordable. We therefore propose an interactive low-budget loan system, which is adaptable to various contexts of use, ranging from closed communities like a university to public access. It can also be used as a sharing platform in public spaces and therefore contribute to a more sustainable way of consumption. To understand the requirements of the different contexts of use, we conducted and analysed in-depth interviews with relevant staff members and potential users. Based on these requirements, technical possibilities were considered and a first system concept has been developed. The concept includes affordable commercial-off-the-shelf hardware (e.g. Raspberry Pi), which enables novel interaction concepts, such as face or speech recognition. Additionally, its modular storage system allows a high degree of flexibility and adaptability while still being easy to produce, repair, and maintain.

    Paving the road to a circular textile economy with AI
    (INFORMATIK 2021, 2021) Rudisch, Katharina; Jüngling, Sebastian; Carrillo Mendoza, Ricardo; Woggon, Ulrike K.; Budde, Ina; Malzacher, Mario; Pufahl, Karsten
    The textile industry has a detrimental impact on the environment and faces challenges to meet climate and environmental goals. The core problem is its linear system where only a small fraction of used garments is reused or recycled. To facilitate recycling of textiles, a sorting method is proposed that provides the necessary information about a garment to sort it into the appropriate recycling channel. Current methods have difficulties identifying garments polluted by chemicals used during dyeing and finishing which hinder recycling into new high-quality fibers. In this concept paper, the Circular Textile Intelligence (CRTX) project is outlined which addresses the central problem of linear structures in the textile industry. A spectroscopy and AI-based method for textile sorting will enable more informed decisions about optimal reuse and recycling channels, thus closing the loop. It will build upon a material database containing information about materials, textiles, dyes, finishings, and unwanted hazardous substances.

    Requirements for a Digital Product Passport to Boost the Circular Economy
    (INFORMATIK 2022, 2022) Plociennik,Christiane; Pourjafarian,Monireh; Saleh,Shehab; Hagedorn,Tabea; Carmo Precci Lopes,Alice do; Vogelgesang,Malte; Baehr,Julian; Kellerer,Bernd; Jansen,Maike; Berg,Holger; Ruskowski,Martin; Schebek,Liselotte; Ciroth,Andreas
    The Digital Product Passport (DPP) is a concept to collect and share product-related information along a product's lifecycle. The aim is to provide all stakeholders during the product lifecycle with the information they need such that a successful Circular Economy can be implemented. At the moment, several varieties of DPPs are being developed, most of them sector-specific. As of today, however, there is no common standard as to what a DPP should look like. This paper collects requirements for the DPP from different perspectives that must be fulfilled to make it broadly applicable.

    Towards Data Spaces for circular economy and green business value networks
    (EnviroInfo 2023, 2023) Rilling, Lukas; Schneider, Alexander; Castelli, Nico
    Circular economy (CE) has been identified by several studies as the necessary reformation of the industry to decrease the environmental impact of production in the fight against climate change. Some studies have identified the lack of technological solutions to support the move towards a circular economy where among others the digital networking and data exchange is one of the most pressing and general problems which must be solved cross-industry and cross-country. This paper therefore identifies the most important requirements for a digital infrastructure to support CE and proposes a solution that combines all these factors by using Data Space concepts and technologies as the backbone for collaboratively collecting data in form of Digital Product Passports (DPP).

    Turning Old into New – The Lane Change to a Circular Economy in the Automotive Industry
    (INFORMATIK 2023 - Designing Futures: Zukünfte gestalten, 2023) Winkelmann, Stephanie; Schweihoff, Julia; Jussen, Ilka; Möller, Frederik
    Sustainability and circular economy have gained significant interest in research, politics, and society. The circular economy is a product of the transformation from a traditional "take-make- dispose"-approach to a closed-loop system, intending to reduce waste and reuse existing resources. The circular economy (CE) is particularly important for the automotive industry as it contributes greatly to global waste and pollution. Although many companies see the potential in the circular economy, research on it is still in its infancy. This paper starts precisely at this point, and analyses publicly presented measures for circular behavior in the automotive industry. We constructed a final sample of nine companies and conducted a website analysis. We assigned 150 identified measures to 30 dimensions and the 9R framework. Our findings indicate that recycling is the most applied principle in the automotive industry. Some measures do not fit the 9R framework. Thus, we argue to supplement the CE principles.
