Evaluation of the Applicability of the Circular Economy and the Product-Service System Model in a Bearing Supplier Company

Today, for most applications in industry, the overall goal of manufacturers and users is to completely rethink improve reliability sustainability. In relation performance rotating equipment, examples ongoing trends related activities driven by major machine include, among other things, saving resources extending service life intervals individual components on machines, increasing use minimum amount lubrication growing focus reusing, retrofitting upgrading equipment. The purpose this work evaluate Circular Economy model a bearing manufacturing company (Product as Service: SKF Rotation Life) using ReSOLVE framework five sustainability factors PSS (Product-Service System) business models. Through data obtained case study, it possible observe link that exists between models how, through reconditioning bearings one key strategies achieve Economy, reduce, reuse recycle material, can provide services rather than products, focusing optimizing asset helping sustainable industrial
