NOTE. It is not mandatory for businesses to link their Supply Chain Management software to the Circlolink App software. The App is also stand-alone to ensure we support SME brands and aim to include all stakeholders in a collaborative bulk production opportunity to create equitable low cost DPP solutions for all. 

Any size business can use RFiD THREADS® to collect and retain real-time data and use excel sheets for metrics and reporting.

For new products at Stages 1 and 2 the CIRCLOLINK app cloud platform holds Base Data plus can be connected to a brands own Supply Chain Management systems  via a "closed confidential" digital bridge. Clients can also enquire to connect their own Lifecycle Assessment Software to feed into as we gather data. 

At Stage 2; during point-of-sale or by request the digital bridge is disconnected. 

The platform maintains only Base Data and is then switched to open source to continue to collect new data by using a UHF commercial reader along its lifecycle.

At Stages 3 and 4 the platform is designed to switch to "reverse supply chains". To facilitate equitable, collaborative and whole-systems circularity, Adetex.CS has chosen to offer free access to the "R" resource recovery sector. They can share in the benefits of a circular economy plus work "on behalf" of brands to collect the lifecycle data for businesses to use for reporting and compliance.

is free to review and add new data along its lifecycle. 

As the RFiD THREADS® is a pliable thread its able to be inserted into recovered products to create data passport with existing known information.

5. Returns and take-back programs. Re-connects to brands SCM via passcode, Warranty for damages, repairs

6. Manufacturing Date and Location: track LCA, emissions, product longevity.

7. Assembly Information: 3D design, circular design strategies, product repair, disassembly for efficient recycling

8. The “Rs” Resource Recovery Sector: Data is open source for partners and resource recovery sector to scan and see existing data to assist repairs, disassembly, recycling, plus add new data, repairs, rent, resale, reuse, redesign then recycle, remanufacture, regenerate to repurpose.
