The digital and physical worlds are increasingly intertwined. Unlocking the circular potential of the collective wealth of data can reshape product life cycles, redefine sustainability metrics, and open new avenues for collaboration. The challenges and concerns, preventing these developments are rooted in the limitation of our current system.
