Selected case studies: Horizon Europe MSCA ExPliCit project deliverable D3.2

D3.2 Selected case studies is a public project deliverable produced within the Horizon Europe Marie Skłodowska-Curie Staff Exchanges project ExPliCit – Exploring Plausible Circular Futures. The project is funded by the European Union under the Horizon Europe MSCA Staff Exchanges scheme, HORIZON-MSCA-2021-SE-01-01, grant agreement No. 101086465, and by the UKRI Horizon Guarantee programme, grant No. EP/X039676/1. The deliverable contributes to the ExPliCit project by developing and analysing selected case studies for the modelling and simulation of plausible Circular Economy futures. It focuses specifically on the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) sector and examines how circular supply chains, reverse logistics, remanufacturing, reuse, recycling, and collection-and-treatment systems may evolve under different future scenarios. The study analyses eleven industrial and institutional partners across Spain and Italy to map organisational profiles, operational practices, material flows, and supply-chain coordination mechanisms. Building on previous ExPliCit project work, the deliverable develops three case-study applications: circular supply-chain resilience, electric vehicle battery remanufacturing, and WEEE collection and treatment in Andalusia. The results support the assessment of regulatory, infrastructural, fiscal, and organisational measures for the circular transition. In particular, the deliverable discusses policy implications related to landfill taxation, recovery infrastructure, spatial planning, Extended Producer Responsibility, Right-to-Repair measures, material recovery targets, and the operational feasibility of circular economy strategies in the WEEE sector.
