CircHelmet - Circular business opportunities for ski helmets

The project explores opportunities to extend the life of ski helmets and create circular flows for rental helmets. The first part of the project focuses on investigating opportunities to support circular flows by determining the condition of used helmets through digital condition assessments or by recycling helmets. The second part of the project examines the current helmet rental at Skistar's facilities and explores opportunities to increase the lifespan and utilisation rate of helmets and contribute to increased circular flows. A test to determine the impact of a ski helmet designed to facilitate maintenance and repair will be conducted together with helmet supplier Disentis. In addition, the project will also explore how a concept helmet can be designed to further increase longevity and contribute to circular flows through changing business models and rental processes. The Swedish Energy Agency believes that the project has the potential to contribute to the call's goal of circular and sustainable product use by demonstrating the possibilities of circular business models.
