Abstract: 

The aspiration in society towards more effective, circular and sustainable solutions is speeding up. As a backdrop for the forward-looking later part of the lecture, it starts by briefly describing the background of why we have today’s challenging situation when it comes to climate change, resource depletion, and so on. The latter part, and the core, describe what is needed to be done and how to enable a transition towards more effective, circular and sustainable solutions. This part is based on the latest knowledge, in combination with business cases from Sweden and the latest from the ongoing ISO standardisation work.
