How to build a new industry

Regulation – BEIS targets100% recycle – 50% reuse

Investment – new ports and infrastructure

Know-how – deconstruction to new markets (warranty and insure), brokerage

Sharing Community

Shared Resource Platform

+CE Credit

System

Community Toolshed

Citizens are able to easily access and share local resources, skills and tools, easing access to one-time-use items and specialist knowledge, whilst reducing local resource consumption as a whole. This is supported by a credits system that encourages participation and exchange.

Micro Grid+Demand Side Response

Solar Thermal / PV

Sharing Community

Community-owned infrastructure enables neighbourhoods to produce, store and locally distribute their own energy and resources, encouraging sustainable energy production and reducing reliance on the national grid.

Demand Side ResponseA review of previous demand side response trials with a range of different tariffs (e.g. Time of Use, Critical Peak Pricing) found that peak energy demand reductions are 60-200% greater with automation and / or control by other parties (e.g. suppliers, Distribution Network Operators) than without.

Community Dining

Space-on-demand services, combined with shared resources, enables the community to utilise individual assets for communal benefit.
