SUSTRACK’s case study selection methodology and definition of the selected case studies

The aim of this report is to identify and select feasible case studies to be used to design, test, and validate different methodologies and tools to be developed within SUSTRACK, as well as involve stakeholders for the different stakeholder interaction processes in the project.

The report provides a description of the case study selection process with selection criteria, and all the methodological steps involved. For the 10 selected case studies (in the four critical sectors, namely construction, textile, chemical, plastics), factsheets are included that provide a brief overview of the case study, the scope, system boundaries, and baseline situation representing the current fossil-based situation, and the circular bio-based alternative. The aim is to provide a picture of the commercial characteristics of the case study and a graphical representation of the value chain (including feedstock type and origin, production processes, and end-of-life options). For each case study a preliminary identification of relevant stakeholders (e.g., companies) is included.
