An advanced ecosystem to integrate data, optimize circular value chains, and accelerate sustainable innovation in bio-based materials is now online.
[Seville, Spain] – July 31, 2025 – The GREEN-LOOP Value Chain Platform is officially live, offering an all-in-one digital solution for businesses, researchers, and policymakers seeking to optimize value chains and lead the transition to a circular, bio-based economy. Developed through a groundbreaking collaboration among 17 partners across 8 countries, and coordinated by IDENER, the platform merges cutting-edge technology, artificial intelligence, and environmental science to reshape how industries innovate with sustainability in mind.
Accessible at https://greenloop.idener.ai, the GREEN-LOOP Platform is a modular, scalable, and secure environment designed to empower a wide range of users, from SMEs and manufacturers to academic researchers and eco-innovators.
Its core mission: to enable data-driven decision-making that enhances operational efficiency while reducing environmental impact.
With the GREEN-LOOP Value Chain Platform, users can analyse and optimise their value chains, train custom AI models, assess environmental performance in real time, and collaborate across sectors to accelerate the transition to a circular bioeconomy.
Smart, Secure, and Sustainable: Highlights of the Platform
Interactive Value Chain Mapping
- Visualise the full development pathway of a product or service across stakeholders.
- Identify key actors, connect with them directly, and explore collaboration opportunities.
- Promote transparency, traceability, and real-time interaction across supply chains.
Free & Intuitive Machine Learning Forecasting
- Upload your own datasets and train custom AI models in just a few steps, no coding required.
- Predict critical material or product properties like elasticity, strength, or deformation.
- Accessible to all users without expensive software licenses or technical barriers.
Simplified Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
- Easily estimate the environmental impact of your process with a user-friendly LCA tool.
- Get early insights into carbon footprint, energy use, and other key sustainability metrics.
- Ideal for innovators taking their first steps toward eco-design.
Equation Solver & Process Optimisation
- Build a set of equations that represent your process, including material balances, energy flows, or cost structures.
- Run optimisations to reduce manufacturing time, minimise costs, or improve performance.
- Perfect for engineers and developers aiming to fine-tune their systems with real data.
Real-Time Environmental Monitoring
- Connect your company’s sensors directly to the platform to stream real-time environmental data.
- Use this dynamic data to power forecasting models, update LCAs, or refine optimisations.
- Brings decision-making closer to the process floor for immediate responsiveness.
Fully Interconnected Digital Ecosystem
- Combine all features into a single, powerful workflow.
- Build a full value chain with real partners, link it to a forecasting model, estimate LCA, set up equations, feed in live sensor data, and run an optimisation, all in one unified space.
- Get the best, most sustainable outcome across the entire chain, faster and smarter.
AI for a Greener Future: Empowering the Eco-Materials Revolution
What truly sets the GREEN-LOOP Platform apart is its powerful integration of Artificial Intelligence to accelerate the development of novel bio-based materials. The platform offers three embedded AI models—focused on bio-rubber, bioplastics, and wood composites—that support rapid prototyping and predictive performance analysis. These models are exclusively available to users who are part of a value chain within the platform, and can be accessed on request:
- Bio-rubber: Predict tensile strength based on formulation data.
- Bioplastics: Estimate the elastic modulus to fine-tune design before physical testing.
- Wood composites: Simulate deformation under load to improve structural performance.
But the real innovation lies in the platform’s ability to support custom AI model creation. Any user can upload their own datasets and train machine learning models tailored to their specific processes or materials—no coding, no licenses, and no technical background required. This functionality democratises AI in material science, allowing organisations of all sizes to harness predictive intelligence and make smarter, faster decisions in sustainable product development.
Designed for Collaboration, Built for Impact
The GREEN-LOOP Platform isn’t just a tool—it’s a digital hub for innovation, learning, and cross-sector collaboration. Developed with a user-centric approach and input from industry experts, policymakers, and research institutions, it offers:
- Circularity assessments for enterprises.
- Partner and supplier search for businesses and R&D actors.
- Access to validated datasets for experts and analysts.
- Dedicated materials on the three GREEN-LOOP pilot value chains.
Through intuitive dashboards and interactive modules, users can evaluate materials across their lifecycle—from biomass sourcing to end-of-life—while engaging with the broader sustainability community.
