Nordic Circular Hotspot and ZeBeyond are glad to announce a new partnership.

ZeBeyond shares NCH’s mission to create circular action across sectors. ZeBeyond is a global software development and service company focusing on creating a circular ecosystem by developing cutting-edge technologies to help manufacturers and suppliers make faster, well-informed decisions.

“At ZeBeyond it is our firm belief that the green transition can only be achieved by collaboration and communicating scientific facts across the traditional disciplines and sectors. Collaboration from diverse backgrounds in a fact-driven manner is what our ePOP software enables. The NCH is relevant for us because circularity is determined in the early stage of product development R&D where ePOP is used 9 out of 10 times. Especially in the Nordics, there are many manufacturers and material providers that have an impact on global development. We look forward to working together with the NCH to enable circularity for the industry,” states Wiktor Dotter, CEO of ZeBeyond.

ZeBeyond contributes to a growing group of NCH partners working with data, tech and research, bringing in knowledge, innovation and hands-on experience of circularity in the design and manufacturing processes. ZeBeyond will also make a version of ePOP available to NCH peers in order to learn and develop the tool towards circularity based on NCH input.

We are glad to welcome ZeBeyond as the newest addition to our Partnership Programme and look forward to working with them. Welcome!

Circularity has developed a unique process to transform used textiles into new garments and other textile items — mechanically, without the use of chemicals or water, and without the addition of any virgin fibres whatsoever. Their input consists not just of pre-consumer off-cuts but also of used work wear from industrial customers and institutions, as well as bed linen and towels from the hospitality and healthcare industries that would otherwise end up in incinerators. Unique, 100% recycled and truly circular.
