Frequently Asked Questions
Below you will find answers to the most common questions we receive.
Data
How much data do we have to provide for the Value Chain Generator® to work?
You don’t have to provide any data to start working with the Value Chain Generator®. It uses publicly available industry data of your regional landscape to generate its solutions. If you want even more granular and detailed outcomes, you can add your primary data into the models on top of that.
Where do you get the companies’ data?
We are working with one of the largest global Business Data Analytics suppliers to procure the most relevant and up-to-date industry data.
Solution
What types of by-products and waste do you provide solutions for?
Value Chain Generator’s® algorithm is primarily trained to work with all organic by-products and waste types. We are currently expanding to the textile and chemical industry and looking to add metals and construction later on. If you are unsure if your waste streams are covered, please message us and we will provide a detailed list.
What is the outcome of the analysis?
The outcome and deliverables are defined based on the requirements and scope of each project. The geographical and delivery scope is defined with the support of our consultants at the beginning of each project to fit best with the organisation’s goals. Deliveries can be a regional heatmap of industrial organic waste streams, a priority list of circular business models, top investment opportunities in by-products and waste valorisation, matchmaking with potential partners and buyers, etc.
How long does it take?
Depending on the project scope, the first results can be received in 2-6 weeks from the project start, up to 3 months for highly complex national projects on large datasets. The timeline is always defined upfront.
Does it work anywhere in the world?
Yes. Our proprietary AI algorithm is geography agnostic and can be applied to any location and value chain anywhere in the world. Let’s replicate the successful circular solutions from various locations and scale them globally, ensuring we consider local specifics and demands!
Business & Pricing
How much does it cost?
Our consultants help you define the project’s scope and deliverables that will help you reach your organisation’s goals most efficiently. The pricing proposal is based on the scope.
Do you offer sustainability and circular economy consulting projects?
Yes, we support public and private organisations with sustainability and circular economy expertise. We have a strong team of circular economy experts, sustainability consultants, and a wider expert network consulting global institutions, governments, and corporations.
