SOSX Circularity
A product's whole life cycle in one connected model: where the loop leaks, the choke point found before it finds you, and a life cycle assessment from the same model.
Transcript
Whether a product's loop closes is decided across its whole life cycle: materials, making, use, return and recovery. And it rests on actors you do not control. Loops fail at their weakest actor, not their average.
Often that is the reprocessor, squeezed between contaminated feedstock and the price of virgin material. SOSX Circularity maps that whole life cycle as one connected model, with the systems that affect it: energy, water, transport, suppliers, regulation and communities. Every value carries its source and its confidence.
Then test it. Double the returns, and the analysis shows where the flow stops. Run your target round the loop, and see what would have to change for it to hold.
Life cycle assessment is one of its reports, set out the standard way, with every allocation choice stated. Because it comes from the loop model, it is retaken when the loop moves. If this product gained a deposit-return incentive, where would the flow actually go, and which actor would become the choke point?
Bring us the loop you are trying to close, and the incentive you are not sure survives contact with its actors.
